About TrueMeter

At TrueMeter , we’re 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 can’t keep up : parsing messy documents, orchestrating agent workflows, and optimizing energy spend across dynamic, multi-variable rate structures.

We’re building a founding team of problem-first engineers who care deeply about deploying AI applications into production —fast, 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 automation—optimizing 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.

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-on—it’s the core of how we scale solutions to problems that were previously unsolvable.
