STEM, economics, finance, regulatory affairs, or pre-law preferred - but candidates from any field are welcome. What matters most: a proven ability to absorb dense, rule-laden material and apply it creatively. Strong hires have included engineers who spot meter anomalies, accountants who catch tax misclassifications, and economists who identify misapplied rate tiers. * Proficiency in Python - used daily to extract, clean, and interrogate billing data and to automate anomaly detection across large client portfolios. UtiliSave has invested over $10 million in proprietary analytics infrastructure; your Python skills will extend these systems. Other languages a plus. * Intellectually tenacious: you pursue a well-founded claim until it is resolved, do not accept a utility's first "no" as final, and find alternative angles when the obvious path is blocked. * Creative and analytically precise: able to construct novel but technically sound claim theories that hold up under regulatory scrutiny - not just surface-level billing corrections. * Strong written and oral communicator: persuasive claim letters, client reports, and regulatory filings on the written side; confident presenting findings to utility representatives, regulators, and senior client personnel verbally. * Comfortable with ambiguity: utility tariff language is often dense, contradictory, or silent on the precise situation. The best analysts are energized by that gap - because it is often where the opportunity lives. * Agile: able to shift rapidly between accounts, jurisdictions, and issue types without losing precision or momentum. * Experience with a regulated public utility - especially in rate billing analysis or customer interaction - is a material advantage. * Ability to prioritize and meet deadlines. ## Description * 12-18 months: Independently managing a portfolio across multiple utility jurisdictions with a growing track record of recoveries. * 24+ months: High performers advance to Senior Analyst, Practice Lead, or Client Relationship Manager - with expanded compensation and client ownership. The expertise you build here - utility tariff law, regulatory billing, forensic financial analysis - is rare and directly monetizable. Few entry-level roles put this much earning power in your own hands this quickly. To apply, email your resume and optional cover letter to recruiting@utilisave.com with the job title in the subject line. Please include your state of residence, work authorization status, and compensation expectations., * Full-time remote; core hours 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Eastern Time. * Must reside in the Eastern Time Zone or Central Time Zone (Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama). * U.S. Citizens and active Green Card holders only. Visa sponsorship is not available. * Python proficiency required. Responsibilities * Apply analytical skills and general business knowledge to identify cost savings using UtiliSave's proprietary tools and those you help build in real time - then initiate action to recover those savings for clients. * Rapidly absorb and master the billing rules, tariff schedules, demand calculations, rider provisions, tax codes, and regulatory frameworks across each client's utility jurisdictions - using that knowledge to uncover billing errors, misapplied rates, and overlooked credits. * Conduct retroactive audits across the full statute of limitations - often six years or more - to maximize the recoverable amount on every client account. * Interface with clients, utility companies, tax authorities, and regulatory agencies to implement savings. When utilities dispute or delay valid claims, pursue every available administrative and regulatory channel until the matter is resolved. When escalation is warranted, coordinate with UtiliSave's outside utility-specialized law firm retained at no additional cost to clients to bring the full weight of the firm's resources to bear. * Develop novel but defensible claim theories going beyond standard audit playbooks by combining deep tariff knowledge with creative pattern recognition across billing history, meter data, and account classifications. * Draft clear, persuasive written claim submissions, client summaries, and regulatory correspondence that make complex billing issues accessible to non-technical readers. * Pivot quickly across accounts, jurisdictions, and claim types as opportunities surface, deadlines shift, or utility responses require a change in approach. * Maintain meticulous records of all open claims, supporting data, utility correspondence, and recovery outcomes from identification through payment. * Collaborate with our MIS group to build tools that improve account review and drive revenue., * Training: New analysts complete a paid three-month intensive onboarding process, one of the most comprehensive programs in the utility auditing industry. It is a paid apprenticeship in one of the most arcane and financially valuable corners of regulatory billing law. The pipeline is rigorous by design: every claim we make must be technically sound and built to withstand utility scrutiny. Analysts who commit fully emerge with a rare, market-differentiated skill set. * Growth: High-performing analysts have advanced to Senior Analyst, Practice Lead, and Client Relationship Manager within two to three years. ## Related Videos - [Forecasting Cyber Attacks with Glassdoor Reviews - Lianne Potter](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2143-forecasting-cyber-attacks-with-glassdoor-reviews-lianne-potter) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [ShapeShift: Reinventing Agile for a B2B SaaS Scale-Up](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1655-shapeshift-reinventing-agile-for-a-b2b-saas-scale-up) - [The shadows of reasoning – new design paradigms for a gen AI world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1000-the-shadows-of-reasoning-new-design-paradigms-for-a-gen-ai-world) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) ## Related Articles - [6 Emerging Technologies We’ll Learn About in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/381-6-emerging-technologies-we-ll-learn-about-in-2025) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The 13 Best Python Libraries for Developers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/371-the-13-best-python-libraries-for-developers-in-2025) - [13 AI Tools You Have to Try](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/219-13-ai-tools-you-have-to-try)
