About Us
Were building the AI Energy Agent thats 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.
TrueMeter fixes this. 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 weve onboarded millions in energy bills from great brands and proven that what were building works.
Were Stanford-alum founders backed by top Silicon Valley investors growing fast and hiring an elite set of AI-native engineers to help us scale.
The Role
Were looking for someone who loves building things from scratch fast. Youll own our data and AI infrastructure end-to-end: pipelines databases APIs and the foundations for coding agents and LLM workflows.
Youll 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.
Youll Work On
Building high-reliability data pipelines and APIs to connect to dozens of utilities and public energy sources.
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.
Building infra that allows coding agents and AI tools to automate workflows across the stack.
Setting up CI/CD observability and automation to keep us shipping fast and clean.
Documenting communicating and collaborating across tech business translating your work into impact metrics everyone can understand.
Who You Are
AI-native curious self-taught and excited about pushing the boundaries of what LLMs and agents can do in real systems.
Nimble builder you can ship an MVP in a short time then iterate it into something robust.
First-principles thinker you choose tools based on logic not hype and can build an efficient and cost-effective infrastructure.
Communicator you can explain your work to both engineers and execs and theyll actually get it.
Independent executor you dont need handholding; you define scope and deliver.
Startup-aware you know priorities will change things will break and thats part of the thrill.
Ambitious you care deeply about impact and are willing to put in the work to want to help build something big.
If youve built production data systems before (Python TypeScript GCP SQL/NoSQL) and love learning new tools youll fit right in.
Why TrueMeter
Were early which means youll have real ownership not just tasks. Youll design systems that last see your work ship in days (not quarters) and help shape a company whose vision is to redefine energy management for every business in America.
We move fast we think from first principles and we care deeply about impact on customers the grid and the planet.
If that sounds like your kind of challenge wed love to talk.
