We believe that internet & WiFi is a fundamental utility — like electricity and water.
In 2015, Meter was founded to simplify the way companies get connectivity by completely rebuilding the experience with best in class software, hardware, and operations.
We are looking for people who are excited to work on interesting problems, enjoy learning from and helping each other, and above all, are kind and ambitious.
We are building for the long term and just getting started. We'd love your help.
If your experience doesn't exactly match any of our current openings, but you are still interested in building with us, we encourage you to reach out at jobs@meter.com.
At Meter, we are building high speed networking infrastructure to power large scale networks. We manage these networks so companies are more productive and secure. This lets our customers concentrate on building impactful products instead of worrying about installing, managing, and maintaining expensive, complex, and fallible systems.
We work on hardware (including routers, switches, and wireless access points) and software to manage thousands of devices, process millions of packets, and scale operations. Some of the engineering problems we tackle are high-speed packet processing (from L1 to L3), wireless drivers, firmware optimization, telemetry, automation, and user experience.

Meter’s mission is to make every company more productive and secure. The backend services support this goal in a number of ways:
This is a big remit for a small team. To accomplish this, our tools and architecture choices are designed to be boring - one backend language, one datastore, used in predictable ways. You are at a point in your career where you understand the benefits of designing a system this way. No unpredictable latency spikes or server crashes. No frantically trying to find the one person who understands the service after hours; everyone understands the service, since there’s only one way of building services.
Our time is the scarcest resource we have, and all of our processes are designed around optimizing for that. You’ll be working on a team with other experienced operators - people who have helped scale successful companies, understand how to get stuff done, have interests outside of work, and work efficiently so they have time to enjoy those interests.
Some companies write in job requirements like, “must have 10 years experience with X” and then hire people with only 3 years of experience with X. What they are really screening for is a willingness to ignore what’s written in the job description. We don’t think that’s a great process, so we don’t really have requirements; we are looking for people who think this job description sounds appealing.
We use Go, Postgres, AWS (managed with Terraform), and some Bash. It’s not necessary to have experience with some, or any, of these, but it certainly would help you get up to speed more quickly if, for example, you had some experience with an SQL database in the past.
At Meter, we are building wired and wireless networks with a focus on the experience of end-users and customer usability, visibility, stability, and security. We don’t implement IEEE standards and RFCs just because they exist, we focus on solving real world problems for real deployments. Internally, engineering has a tight feedback loop with Meter’s operations & support teams, and together we endeavor to delight our customers with networking they should ideally never have to think about.
In our architecture, we’re using DPDK (C/C++) and various network helper daemons (C/Go/Python) to invisibly enable applications to Just Work on on our customer’s networks. As the glue between Meter Access Points and Meter Cloud, we have the opportunity to make a huge, positive impact on the day-to-day experience of end-users on Meter networks.
We are looking for people who are excited to work on interesting problems and have the disposition to learn and teach. At Meter, we value kindness and ambition above all.

Meter’s mission is to make every company more productive and secure. The embedded platform team members support this goal in a number of ways:
Fundamentally, the Embedded Platforms Team provides the state-of-the-art foundation on which the rest of Meter’s product is built. We leverage existing Open Source Software whenever possible. Our users are both internal and external; in addition to our customers, we must consider the engineers who build on top of our platforms and the Operations Team that installs, monitors, and uses our devices.
On any given project, team members might debug new hardware, adjust the C-based firmware, write a new Linux driver, create a test framework, prototype APIs for Backend Engineers, and then wrap it up in a well-designed build system.
Our time is the scarcest resource we have, and all of our processes are designed around optimizing for that.

We use Linux, OpenWRT, Buildroot, C, Python, make, Lua, and Bash. We work on a variety of architectures, including: ARM, ath79, ipq806x, and x86-64. Currently, we work with QCA WiFi chips. Prospective team members must be flexible and able to learn new technologies, chips, and architectures.
Other teams at Meter use technologies like Go, Postgres, and AWS (managed with Terraform). Having a knowledge of these and/or similar technologies, while not mandatory, will make it easier to work with other teams and provide the platforms they need.

We work on hardware (including routers, switches, and wireless access points) and software to manage thousands of devices, process millions of packets, and scale operations. Our frontend applications help process data from APIs at different levels of the stack into usable interfaces and is the primary way of interacting with Meter’s products daily. These applications are critical, used by astute users who focus on productivity and usability.

Meter’s mission is to make every company more productive and secure. Meter’s applications support this goal in a number of ways:
We are a team with various and extensive backgrounds across all functions. We enjoy learning from and helping each other improve at what we do. We trust each other to be outstanding. Some of the many things we enjoy outside of work: reading, ham radios, astronomy, basketball, cooking, and music.
We are looking for people who are warm and inclusive. We value passion, integrity, and curiosity. We highly encourage you to reach out to us even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description.
We are looking for a IT engineer that will help us make anything internet, networking and WiFi super simple for our customers.
