Meet the team
Operators and engineers, building together
We've worked inside enough legacy systems to know exactly what's broken and why it's stayed broken for 30 years. Our founders come from Stripe, Verkada, and Meraki. We've taken legacy technologies and redefined the industry. They've also run real distribution operations and managed physical supply chains firsthand. We're not outsiders who spotted a market gap. We're insiders who got tired of waiting for someone else to fix it.

Life at Matterhaul
The work is serious. The way we build it is human.
A few scenes from the rituals, working sessions, and in-person time that shape the team behind the product.
Benefits & Perks
We take care of our people
We're building a company we'd want to work at. That means treating people like adults, paying them well, and giving them the tools to do great work.
Meaningful equity
Founding-stage equity that reflects your impact. You're building this company, you should own a piece of it.
Competitive salary
We benchmark against top-tier startups and pay you to do the best work of your career.
Full health coverage
Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family.
Flexible PTO
We trust you to take care of yourself. Take the time you need. No tracking, no guilt.
Learning & equipment stipend
Annual budget for courses, conferences, books, or whatever makes your work better.
In-person-first (SF)
We're headquartered in San Francisco and believe the best ideas happen in the room. We're flexible when life demands it.
Where we are
The rare window where the foundation is still being poured.
Paying customers
Working product
Proven founders
We have paying customers, a working product, and a founding team that has done this before. You're not joining a pitch deck. You're joining at the moment when the architecture, the culture, and the company DNA are still being defined.
The people who join now will own that. That window doesn't stay open long.
How we work
Our operating principles
These aren't values we aspirationally posted on a wall. They're how we actually make decisions.
Hiring philosophy
We obsess over talent and we're deliberate about the kind of company we're building.
Everyone here sits with customers. Not just the sales team. Not just leadership. Everyone. The problems we're solving live in the field, and we expect every person on this team to know them firsthand.
We hire people who seek autonomy, experiment relentlessly, and don't wait to be told what to do. Egos don't survive long here. Not because we're harsh, but because the work demands real collaboration across a genuinely hard problem.
If this sounds exciting, we'd love to hear from you.
