Hybrid Software Engineer, Models

at Meter

• Job title: Software Engineer, Models
• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Mid level, Senior
• Salary: $220,000 - $278,000 per year
• Degree requirement: Bachelor's Degree
• Location requirements: Hybrid, San Francisco, United States

About the role

• Own the systems and tooling that turn Network Engineer expertise into high-quality training data. Engage closely with engineers to build and iterate rapidly in a hybrid working environment.

Responsibilities

• Build and Own Labeling Tooling
• Design, implement, and iterate on the tools that network engineers use to annotate issues, log diagnostic reasoning, and curate data for model training and evaluation
• Build interfaces that feel natural to domain experts: low friction, high signal, and easy to use without engineering support
• Partner closely with network engineers to continuously learn what's working and what isn't, and update the tooling accordingly
• Move Fast and Iterate
• Ship working prototypes quickly, treat v1 as a learning artifact, and bring proven approaches to production
• Own the full cycle: design, build, deploy, observe, revise
• Be comfortable with ambiguity. You're defining the playbook, not following one
• Scale the Data Operation
• Set up metrics and feedback loops that measure tooling effectiveness and its downstream impact on model quality
• Monitor and troubleshoot data pipelines and tooling in production
• Help define best practices for labeling workflows and data governance

Requirements

• Move fast and know when "good enough to learn from" beats "perfect" — and when it doesn't
• Can prototype quickly and have the skill and fortitude to bring it to production when the time is right
• Build for the end user: you care whether the people using your tools actually enjoy using them
• Are curious about domains outside engineering — you'll need to learn how network engineers think, not just what they do
• Communicate clearly with both engineers and domain experts
• Thrive with high autonomy and are energized by defining the work, not just executing it

Benefits

• Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Meter's equity plan.
