Financial Analyst (New Grad)

General Matter enriches uranium.

We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.  

In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive. 

Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume.  Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.

Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable.  We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society. 

We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.  

Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.  

We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency. 

Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable. 

General Matter is building the enrichment capacity America needs to produce its own nuclear fuel, and every dollar we spend getting there has to count. We are looking for a Financial Analyst to run the day-to-day finance operations that keep our engineers and operators moving: leading our accounts payable program, owning our procure-to-pay and spend platform, and building the reports that show leadership where the money is going and how it tracks against plan. You will also help build the budgets, cost models, and long-range projections behind the company’s biggest decisions, and at times embed directly with engineering teams during major development campaigns. If you want real ownership early in your career and a direct view into how a hard-tech company gets funded and built, this role is for you.
