About the role

  • You'll work directly with the co-founder/CTO, helping shape how data moves through the company - from raw energy telemetry to real-world business impact.
  • This is a startup role in the truest sense: priorities change, speed matters, and the impact is huge.

Responsibilities

  • Building high-reliability data pipelines and APIs to connect to dozens of utilities and public energy sources.
  • Building infra that allows coding agents and AI tools to automate workflows across the stack.
  • First-principles thinker - you choose tools based on logic, not hype, and can build an efficient and cost-effective infrastructure.
  • Independent executor - you don't need handholding; you define, scope, and deliver.
  • Ambitious - you care deeply about impact and are willing to put in the work to want to help build something big.

Requirements

  • Nimble builder - you can ship an MVP in a short time, then iterate it into something robust.
  • Communicator - you can explain your work to both engineers and execs, and they'll actually get it.

Skills

  • pipelines, databases, APIs, and the foundations for coding agents and LLM workflows.
  • Architecting databases and ingestion systems for time-series energy data, billing, and telemetry.
  • Designing GCP infrastructure (e.g., BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Secret Manager) for scale and cost efficiency.

Company info

  • We're building the AI Energy Agent that's becoming the default way any business pays for power and saves on energy.
  • The grid is breaking under the weight of AI and electrification - data centers are driving record demand, renewables are lagging, and energy costs are climbing 3x faster than inflation.
  • Businesses are desperate for predictability and control.
  • We turn messy, multi-utility bills into a single, cheaper, fixed-price subscription - powered by AI.
  • We launched our MVP in May 2024.
  • Since then, we've onboarded millions in energy bills from great brands and proven that what we're building… works.
  • We're Stanford-alum founders backed by top Silicon Valley investors, growing fast, and hiring an elite set of AI-native engineers to help us scale.
  • TrueMeter fixes this.
  • Startup-aware - you know priorities will change, things will break, and that's part of the thrill.
