Financial operations at Meter supports growth and cost efficiency by improving interactions with customers, vendors, employees, auditors and investors.
We are looking for someone who is ready to jump in and do whatever the business needs. That might mean selecting a new ERP system one day and chasing down a late customer payment the next. Nothing is beneath you, and nothing feels too big - you just get it done.
By building this infrastructure, we unblock and make sure our business grows. We should talk if you want to have the most impactful role of your career.
What success looks like
In six months, you will have shipped and implemented multiple new systems and processes across revenue and payables. To do so, you will have to understand every facet of the business, spot small issues before they turn into big problems, and develop a solution rooted in clean design, clear training, and relentless execution. Over time, you will:
Own Meter’s financial tooling strategy - selecting and implementing the best tools for reporting, billing and procurement
Work across the company to guide financial decisions - from strengthening accounting processes to ensuring cash is managed wisely as we scale
Build and lead a team of builders who care as much about how the work gets done as what gets done
What your day-to-day will look like
Automate vendor payments and billing by reviewing workflows
Meet internal teams (Deployment Ops, Sales, Rev Ops) to scope changes, and test new processes that speed up month end close (three days)
Configure ERP and billing integrations
Lead audits end to end, from design to implementation
Who you bring to the role
Kindness and ambition
Commitment to building processes that not only get the job done, but create lasting positive experiences for everyone who interacts with Meter - employees, customers, and vendors alike
Energy for both analytical and collaborative work - whether deep in spreadsheets, writing systems proposals, or engaging with operators, PMs, and engineers for feedback
Ambition to take ownership of financial systems - selecting, implementing and communicating across the company the systems that enable Meter’s growth at scale
Why Meter?
The internet runs the world. Every purchase you make, video call you join, it's all packets flowing through networks. But those networks haven’t changed for decades. They’re brittle, complex, and surprisingly hard to set up in an enterprise space.
We started Meter to build better networks. We had to build everything from the ground-up: designing and building our own enterprise hardware, intuitive software, and streamlined operations to deliver great outcomes for our customers. Today, we build and deploy these networks at scale. Ambitious companies and enduring institutions like Bridgewater, Lyft, Reddit, rely on Meter to keep their thousands of employees and locations online and productive.
Our bet with Meter is simple: we will all use the internet more than we do today. We believe we have the definitive networking stack in place to enable business to do so as seamlessly and reliably as any modern utility.
Internet is ubiquitous, but internet infrastructure is painful.
Market dynamics to date have created a fractured industry with misaligned incentives, high friction and inefficient spend.
We believe there is an opportunity to create a vertically integrated infrastructure provider that combines hardware, software and operations to align incentives, remove friction and lower costs. The scale of this ambition is immense - if we do not fully transform a market with hundreds of billions of revenue, we will fail.
We are pursuing this with an incredible team of operators in pursuit of the biggest impact of their career, with the backing of long term investors excited by the industry transformation we can achieve (Sequoia, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom).
We’re 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’re building for the long term, and we’re just getting started.

One of the strongest levers we’ve identified to raise the ceiling for all Meters is ensuring we hire colleagues with an abundant level of kindness and ambition. We believe these traits are not dichotomous, but complementary. We also believe they need to be practiced daily, not just aspired for. Embodying these traits leads to outsized impact, raising the bar for what’s possible and creating the foundation of our growth. See more details on how we operate.
One of the unique aspects about our space is that it combines our office, warehouse, and QA lab. As a vertically integrated business, it’s invaluable for employees to work from the same space where our products are developed, tested and shipped to customers.
Meter is committed to working together in person, and we invest in the experience. The majority of Meters are based in the Bay Area, and work out of our office in the Mission District of San Francisco. Meter’s in-house chef prepares fresh meals for colleagues to connect outside the structure of daily work.
