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.

You'll sit at the intersection of Hardware, Finance, and Technical Program Management, and partner closely with Business Development and our planning team. This role starts hands-on and transactional, but grows with the company: first standing up our spend and procurement systems, then owning material planning against commitments, and ultimately helping shape how we communicate supply strategy to executives and suppliers alike.

Own the end-to-end purchase-to-pay process using procurement tools to ensure POs are issued based on lead times, track logistics including reverse logistics
