Role Description

UtilityAPI is a mission-driven company that is fighting climate change by enabling the exchange of energy data for energy service providers and utilities. Lack of access to data is a key choke point for clean energy companies, and our automation helps shorten sales cycles, lower customer acquisition costs, and provides the infrastructure needed to build the energy economy of the future. Our customers love us.

We have a diverse leadership team and we value the insights that a diverse team can bring. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been traditionally underrepresented and underestimated in tech, including women, people of color and people with disabilities.
