🏢 About Bidgely
Bidgely is at the forefront of combating climate change by using AI and appliance-specific analytics to revolutionize home energy savings. Their remote-first culture and focus on utility partnerships make them a unique place to drive real environmental impact through technology.
About This Role
As a Solution Architect for Quality and Improvements, you will own the end-to-end solution design for utility customers, ensuring technical soundness and on-time delivery. You'll bridge product management and engineering teams to drive continuous improvement, directly impacting how utilities help consumers save energy.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with a stand-up with your global engineering team to review progress on solution design. You'll then join a call with a utility customer to discuss a new feature launch, followed by a gate review meeting to ensure technical soundness. Later, you'll document improvement opportunities from a recent implementation and coordinate with product management on risk mitigation.
