What MatX is Building

MatX's mission is to make the world’s best AI models run as efficiently as allowed by physics, bringing the world years ahead in AI quality and availability.

We're looking for a Procurement Specialist to build and own the procurement and spend-management backbone behind our hardware programs. As we move from design into builds, we need someone who can run the full purchase-to-pay cycle: issuing POs, tracking commitments, managing logistics, and making sure suppliers and invoices are handled cleanly, while giving Finance and leadership a clear, real-time picture of where our money is going.

You'll sit at the intersection of Hardware, Finance, and Technical Program Management, and partner closely with Business Development and our planning team.
