Creditworthiness assessment beyond FICO for lenders
Welcome to Matter, where we are building the future of vision AI: pairing a world-first sensor that sees molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shape with a Large World Model that will be the most powerful intelligence engine for the physical world. This system doesn't just see what something looks like; it understands everything from a single pixel. We call this Superintelligent Vision.
Our team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, designed advanced sensors for U.S. Defense, and frontier artificial intelligence systems. We are now building the next generation of space- and airborne-based sensing systems.
Matter is hiring a Deputy Program Manager to help drive execution across complex sensing, airborne, and space programs. Reporting to Tim Clark, this role will turn program objectives into coordinated schedules, decisions, risk management, and clear communication across teams.
Maintain integrated program plans, schedules, milestones, dependencies, risks, and action tracking.
Coordinate engineering, operations, supply chain, test, and customer-facing workstreams around shared program outcomes.
Prepare program reviews and concise status reporting that surface decisions, tradeoffs, and required follow-through.
Support requirements, configuration, verification, and delivery processes with clear ownership and traceability.
Identify execution gaps early and work with owners to resolve blockers or escalate decisions.
Experience coordinating complex technical programs with multiple disciplines and dependencies.
Strong planning, organization, written communication, and follow-through.
Ability to understand technical context well enough to connect schedules, risks, requirements, and decisions.
Comfort operating at both detailed working level and concise leadership-review level.
Experience with aerospace, defense, hardware development, flight programs, or other regulated technical environments.
Experience supporting customer, government, or partner reporting and milestone reviews.
Familiarity with systems engineering, configuration control, verification, or supply-chain execution.
Program plans reflect real dependencies, owners, and risks rather than static reporting.
Leadership and technical teams receive clear information in time to make decisions.
Milestones, actions, and customer commitments are tracked consistently through completion.
This role is based in El Segundo, CA, and requires onsite work.

Creditworthiness assessment beyond FICO for lenders
Matter Intelligence builds credit assessment tools that go beyond traditional FICO scores. Its offerings analyze a wide range of signals and data to judge an individual’s potential, providing a more complete view of creditworthiness. The system works by running advanced algorithms on diverse data sources to produce a risk score that financial institutions can use when deciding whether to extend credit. This approach differs from many competitors by focusing on broader, signals-based indicators and inclusive finance, aiming to capture aspects of credit risk that conventional scores miss. Revenue comes from selling or licensing its credit assessment services to banks, lenders, and other partners who benefit from improved risk insights and the ability to serve a larger pool of customers. The goal is to expand access to financing and enable more people, including underserved groups, to qualify for credit through more accurate and equitable assessments.
