Sense builds home monitoring technology to help people understand their household energy consumption, know what is going on in their homes, and ultimately reduce their energy footprint. We help make homes safer, more efficient, and more reliable. We are serious about impacting climate change, and we regularly measure reduction in carbon emissions from our technology.

Sense was founded in 2013 by pioneers in speech recognition technologies. This background provides the team with the intuition to unlock key insights relating to home energy efficiency and deliver those insights to customers. We use machine learning technology to provide real-time insights on device behavior. Customers rely on Sense for a wide range of uses including monitoring their home appliances, determining whether they left appliances running, finding faulty appliances, and identifying how to reduce energy costs.

We are looking for an intern or co-op to join our Data Science team in 2022. You’ll be diving into messy time-series data, improving our visualization tools, exploring data-driven modeling, and ultimately improving our customers’ visibility into their homes.
