Full-Stack Software Engineer
About The Position
Matter is building the future of vision AI, combining a novel sensor that captures molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shape with a Large World Model for unparalleled physical world intelligence. This system goes beyond visual recognition to understand everything from a single pixel, a capability they term Superintelligent Vision. The team has a strong track record, having delivered technologies for NASA/JPL's Mars missions, developed advanced sensors for the U.S. Defense, and built core infrastructure at OpenAI. They are now focused on creating the next generation of space- and airborne-based sensing systems. This role is for a Full-Stack Software Engineer who will develop the software that transforms ultraspectral sensing data and AI models into actionable intelligence products for customers. The position involves working across web interfaces, backend services, APIs, and geospatial data workflows, collaborating closely with product, design, AI, and data infrastructure teams throughout the development lifecycle, from initial prototyping to production deployment.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience building and operating full-stack software products or equivalent production systems.
- Strong frontend development skills with JavaScript or TypeScript, React, and modern web application patterns.
- Experience building backend APIs and services with Python and frameworks such as FastAPI or Flask.
- Experience deploying and operating cloud services in AWS, including containerized or serverless workloads, queues, and relational databases such as Postgres.
- Experience working with geospatial data, spatial databases, or processing tools such as PostGIS, GDAL, cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs, or NetCDF.
- Strong software design, testing, debugging, and communication skills, with the ability to own work across technical boundaries.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Mapbox, TiTiler, tile servers, or other geospatial visualization and delivery systems.
- Experience integrating AI or machine-learning outputs, including language-model capabilities, into production software.
- Familiarity with remote sensing, spectral imagery, or industrial and scientific data workflows.
- Experience delivering customer-facing products in an early-stage company or other fast-moving technical environment.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain end-to-end product workflows across modern web interfaces, backend services, APIs, and data integrations.
- Turn high-dimensional sensing data, geospatial context, and model outputs into clear, responsive applications for expert users.
- Build backend services that support secure, reliable access to imagery, maps, analytical results, and customer-specific workflows.
- Define and maintain interfaces between the product layer, data infrastructure, AI systems, and external customer systems.
- Own software quality through automated testing, observability, performance tuning, CI/CD, documentation, and production support.
- Work with product leaders, designers, engineers, and users to scope features, make tradeoffs, and deliver complete capabilities from problem definition through deployment.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation based on experience
- Early-stage equity package
- 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage
- Opportunity to work on novel sensing, data, and AI systems with real-world deployment paths to the largest industries in the world
