Job Description

Bidgely (which means "electricity" in Hindi) is an AI-powered SaaS Company accelerating a clean energy future by enabling energy companies and consumers to make data-driven energy-related decisions Ranked #7 in Applied AI on Fast Company’s list of Most Innovative Companies in the World, Bidgely is putting customers at the center of the clean energy future

What We Do

Powered by our unique patented technology, Bidgely's UtilityAI™ Platform transforms multiple dimensions of customer data - such as energy consumption, demographics, and interactions into deeply accurate and actionable consumer energy insights. We leverage these insights to empower each customer with personalized recommendations tailored to their individual personality and lifestyle, usage attributes, behavioral patterns, purchase propensity and beyond.

How We Do It

From a distributed energy resources (DER) and grid edge perspective, Bidgely is advancing smart meter innovation with data-driven solutions for solar PVs, electric vehicle (EV) detection, EV behavioral load shifting and managed charging, energy theft, short-term load forecasting, grid analytics and time of use (TOU) rate designs. Bidgely’s UtilityAI™ energy analytics provides deep visibility into generation and consumption for better peak load shaping and grid planning and delivers targeted recommendations for new value-added products and services.

You are a seasoned engineer with demonstrated expertise in Generative AI, Agentic systems, LLM orchestration, and distributed ecosystems. You have a proven track record of delivering production-grade AI systems at scale, leading technical teams by example, and driving innovation in the GenAI and Agentic space for your prior organization.
