Meter's mission and long term ambition
The internet runs the world–data centers, offices, manufacturing facilities, schools, etc., spend billions annually on computer networking to stay productive.
However, these networks are messy and brittle. Traditional networking companies only build one piece of the puzzle—either hardware, software, or operations—but never all three, leading to inefficient silos and slow changes. Network engineers—the lifeblood of the industry—are often left scrambling to fix issues, hand editing configs, guess-and-checking solutions, and worrying how the ever-increasing complexity of the system they manage will break.
Meter has spent the last decade vertically integrating the fragmented computer networking industry across hardware (power, routing, switches, security, wireless), firmware, operating systems, and real-world operations. By owning the full stack, we make it exceptionally easy for any business to have great networking, internet, and Wi-Fi. We believe people who build hardware and software should be the ones responsible for it. Our ambition is to evolve internet infrastructure into a utility.
This role is critical to Meter's success
Meter’s approach has enabled us to build a high-growth business with hundreds of networks deployed, serving everyone from small schools to fortune 500 companies. This traction has given us a rare data advantage and support from Sequoia, Sam Altman, and Microsoft, amongst others. We are now well positioned to do what no one else can: train a model that deeply understands real-world networks, predicts failures before they happen, and fixes problems before engineers even know there’s an issue.
Intelligent networks unlock enormous productivity gains and while technologists are focused on providing leverage to software engineers, network engineering is quietly one of the largest job categories in technology.
With tens of thousands of H100s, a rare data advantage, and an opinionated vision for the future, we’re assembling a small team of talented researchers who want to apply themselves to a critical yet neglected industry. See more at meter.ai
