Technical Program Manager

The Company You’ll Join 

At Bidgely (which means "electricity" in Hindi), we work to accelerate a clean energy future by emPOWERing energy companies and consumers to make data-driven, energy-related decisions. 


We are a global company, with roots in Silicon Valley, California and Bangalore, India. Bidgely carries over seventeen energy patents, and brings a passion for AI to utilities serving over twenty-seven million customers worldwide!

Consumers are becoming self-sufficient with their own energy production and storage threatening a century old utility business model.
