About TrueMeter
At TrueMeter were tackling one of the hardest and most overlooked challenges in energy: making sense of complex utility data and actually optimizing costs down.
Our mission is to engineer intelligence at scale. We apply AI-first thinking to problems where traditional engineering cant keep up: parsing messy documents orchestrating agent workflows and optimizing energy spend across dynamic multi-variable rate structures.
Were building a founding team of problem-first engineers who care deeply about deploying AI applications into productionfast reliably and at scale.
Why Join Us
As our Founding Software Engineer AI Applications you will:
Be one of the earliest engineers setting both the technical direction and cultural foundation of TrueMeter.
Own end-to-end AI applications: from ingesting unstructured data to deploying production-ready agent workflows.
Work on hard technical problems that have resisted automationoptimizing rates parsing unstandardized tariffs integrating across APIs and scaling systems that deliver direct business value.
Move fast and apply AI-first thinking for scaling: leveraging LLMs orchestration frameworks and modern cloud infrastructure to design solutions that scale where traditional methods fail.
If you want to be on the frontlines of applying AI to complex high-impact engineering challenges this is the role.
What Youll Do
Build AI Applications: Design and deploy intelligent systems that parse tariffs optimize utility spend and automate workflows.
Productionize Agent Workflows: Integrate cutting-edge AI models into robust pipelines that run reliably in real-world environments.
Full-Stack Development: Build APIs backend services and frontend integrations using Python and TypeScript as needed.
Leverage Cloud at Scale: Deploy and maintain systems on GCP (or AWS) ensuring scalability reliability and performance.
Iterate Rapidly: Prototype test and launch features quickly while maintaining production quality.
Shape Foundations: Establish engineering standards architecture principles and AI-first practices for the company.
What Were Looking For
23 years of experience as a software engineer at an AI-first company or building AI-powered applications.
Proficiency in Python and TypeScript with experience shipping production code.
Hands-on experience deploying AI/LLM workflows into production (LangChain LlamaIndex vector DBs orchestration frameworks etc.).
Familiarity with GCP (or AWS) cloud infrastructure and deploying production-grade systems.
Experience building and maintaining APIs data pipelines or full-stack applications.
Startup DNA: thrives in ambiguity biased toward action problem-first mindset and high ownership.
Nice-to-Haves
Experience with parsing unstructured data optimization algorithms or time-series forecasting.
Background in energy utilities or IoT data (not required but valuable context).
Prior experience in a founding or early-stage engineering role.
Our Culture
We value problem-first engineering: we start with the complexity of the problem and we solve it with the right tools applying AI-first thinking where it creates leverage. We move with urgency ship quickly and reflect honestly to improve. We believe that AI is not an add-onits the core of how we scale solutions to problems that were previously unsolvable.
What Youll Get
A founding engineer role with outsized ownership and influence on product and company trajectory.
Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
Hybrid work culture in San Franciscocollaborative fast-paced and ambitious.
The opportunity to work on real-world hard problems that push the boundaries of AI-first engineering.
