Meter builds hardware and software for enterprise-grade networks—competing directly against established vendors like Cisco and Aruba. The tech stack reveals a dual-layer approach: modern connectivity protocols (EVPN-VXLAN, 802.1X) paired with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, PostgreSQL, Kafka) and edge compute (ARM, x86, TPM). Sales hiring dominates (85 roles) while engineering remains lean (16), indicating a sales-led, channel-driven growth model focused on displacing legacy competitors rather than product velocity.
Meter provides internet infrastructure for enterprises, combining hardware, software, and operations into a full-stack network offering. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company serves mid-market and enterprise businesses seeking modern alternatives to traditional networking vendors. The product competes on reliability, security, and ease of deployment. Active projects center on partner enablement, reducing setup complexity, and building a channel ecosystem. The hiring profile—heavily weighted toward sales and operations roles—reflects a go-to-market strategy focused on regional partner teams and reducing customer onboarding friction.
