About TrueMeter
The U.S. power grid wasnt built for the AI era.
Data centers are exploding in demand renewables are lagging and businesses are stuck with utility bills that grow faster than inflation.
TrueMeter is fixing that. Were building the AI Energy Agent that becomes the default way any business pays for power consolidating messy multi-utility bills into a single and cheaper subscription.
We launched our MVP in May 2024. Since then weve onboarded millions of dollars in energy spend from major brands. Were seed-stage backed by top Silicon Valley investors and moving fast.
If you love building AI-powered systems from scratch and want to work on something that actually matters for the planet keep reading.
The Role
Were hiring a Backend Software Engineer (AI Applications) who thrives in early-stage chaos someone who can go from an idea or prototype to a working system in days not months.
Youll build the backend that powers our AI Energy Agent: LLM-driven systems that read structure and reason about energy data. Youll integrate with dozens of utility APIs orchestrate data pipelines and develop services that make AI truly useful in production.
Youll work directly with the co-founder/CTO and other engineers designing backend systems that scale from 10 customers to 10000 and youll do it fast with ownership and with pride.
What Youll Build
AI-Driven Backends: Build production systems that connect LLMs and coding agents with our data and product APIs.
Service Architecture: Design and deploy fast secure microservices in Python (and optionally TypeScript).
Data Integration: Build reliable connectors to energy company portals and public data sources.
Infra for Intelligence: Help design the backend infrastructure that lets AI agents read reason and act autonomously across our data stack.
Performance & Scale: Own systems that need to run 24/7 low latency high reliability.
Observability & Tooling: Ship CI/CD pipelines logs and metrics to keep everything visible and maintainable.
Collaboration: Work with customer success/sales teams to translate messy real-world problems into clean technical abstractions.
Who You Are
1 year of experience building production backends or full-stack systems (Python GCP or AWS infrastructure).
AI-native mindset excited to integrate LLMs and tools like LangChain OpenAI APIs or custom agents into real systems.
Rapid prototyper can turn an idea into a running system quickly and iterate based on feedback.
Clear communicator able to explain complex systems to both technical and business teams.
Independent executor scopes work executes and delivers without handholding.
Startup-ready understands things break priorities shift and thats what makes it fun.
Impact-driven connects code directly to customer outcomes and business metrics.
Ambitious you care deeply about impact and are willing to put in the work to want to help build something big.
Bonus points if youve built production systems involving energy fintech or automation.
Why Join TrueMeter
Because youll get to build the AI backbone of the energy economy at a time when both AI and energy are being reinvented.
Youll work directly with Stanford alum founders and an elite set of engineers who ship fast think deeply and care about doing things that matter. Youll see your code go from prototype to production in days and know that its helping real businesses save money and reduce emissions.
This is a from-scratch high-ownership high-impact role. If you want to help redefine how the physical world runs on AI this is your shot.
