Arbor is building an intelligent electricity marketplace to power an abundant electric future. As AI data centers drive a surge in electricity demand, millions of homes and businesses remain trapped with 20th century monopoly interfaces, overpaying by billions while cheap renewable energy goes to waste. Our AI-powered platform aggregates users to unlock wholesale pricing, automatically switches between the best rates, and optimizes usage to align with prices in real-time—delivering the same market advantages that were previously exclusive to Fortune 500 companies. We’ve raised over $20 million from leading investors and have saved over $7.5 million for tens of thousands of homes and businesses.
The OpportunityThis is an early-career, founder-track role for a highly analytical builder who can see the story in the numbers and turn it into action.

You’ll work directly with the CEO in Austin, operating at times like a Chief of Staff focused on the most important strategic initiatives and functions.
