Software Engineer, AI Applications - TrueMeter

Software Engineer – AI Applications 📍 San Francisco Bay Area | Hybrid (3 days onsite, 2 remote) About TrueMeter The U.S. power grid wasn’t 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. We’re 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, we’ve onboarded millions of dollars in energy spend from major brands. We’re 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 We’re 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. You’ll build the backend that powers our AI Energy Agent: LLM-driven systems that read, structure, and reason about energy data. You’ll integrate with dozens of utility APIs, orchestrate data pipelines, and develop services that make AI truly useful in production. You’ll work directly with the co-founder/CTO and other engineers, designing backend systems that scale from 10 customers to 10,000 — and you’ll do it fast, with ownership, and with pride. What You’ll 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 —
