About Yes Energy
What is Yes Energy?
Yes Energy sells data, analytics and workflow software to people who trade, schedule and settle electricity in North American power markets. Its adverts describe the business as follows: "Yes Energy delivers real-time market data and electric power trading decision solutions." and "Over 1,000 market participants use Yes Energy solutions daily." The home page calls the product suite "The Power Market Operating System", names traders, independent power producers, utilities and asset developers as its customers, and quotes 1,400+ data sources and 18+ years of normalized data. Products named on the site include DataSignals, PowerSignals, the EnCompass power-flow model and PowerCore, which sits under the Bid to Bill heading and is the settlement system that the Senior Settlements Analyst advert refers to.
The company was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 2008, and Michael McNair is its founder and CEO. In April 2022 it announced "a significant investment from Accel-KKR", described in the same release as a technology-focused private equity firm (the amount is not stated), and on 2 April 2026 it announced the acquisition of Enelytix, Inc., a power market modeling and forecasting company. Three of the eleven live adverts are Enelytix modeling roles and one sits under a Tesla Forecasting department label. The adverts give the headcount as 300, over 350, 400 and 400+ professionals, so the exact figure is not settled.
Where will I work?
Headquarters is Boulder, Colorado, at 5500 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 200, and the adverts name "Boulder, CO (HQ)". The locations page also lists offices in Richmond (Virginia), Chicago, Glendora (California), Dedham (Massachusetts), Bucharest, Auckland and London. On 13 November 2026 the Greenhouse board held 11 live adverts: three in Boulder, three in Bucharest, three listed under Newton, Massachusetts (the Model Ready Data advert's own text offers Boulder, Seattle or Boston (Newton)), one on-site role in Richmond, Virginia, and one remote United States role (Senior Settlements Analyst, "Location: Open"). Of the ten that are not on-site, nine are hybrid: seven say "2 days in the office", the Boulder Data Engineer II says "Hybrid - 2-3 days in the office", and one Newton advert names no day count. The careers page describes "Offices around the globe with support for in-person collaboration and focused remote work". Today's adverts are all located in the United States or Romania, and the Marketing Specialist advert requires authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
What is the Yes Energy team like?
The about page describes a team of "economists, industry analysts, database gurus, software developers, statisticians" and other energy market professionals. The adverts describe a flat hierarchy with small teams on well-defined projects, where each person also works along a continuum of roles adjacent to their focus area, and call the company's people "high standards people". The careers page lists values that include "Nerds are cool." and "We are one team built on respect."
Some roles are operational. The Data Engineer II advert, for the Bid-to-Bill Operations Engineers team, says customers run "settlements, billing, scheduling, and energy transactions worth millions of dollars each day" on Yes Energy, and its responsibilities include "Provide after-hours support, for critical production issues". The Data Scientist II advert lists daily forecasting operations with runtime monitoring and exception handling. Three adverts use the words fast-paced. None of the 11 adverts mentions an on-call rota, 24/7 cover, weekend work or market-hours working.
Work-Life Balance
The careers page lists "Hybrid Work and Flexible Schedules" among its benefits and explains it as "A hybrid approach in where you work, plus flexibility in when you work with unstructured PTO". All 11 live adverts repeat the claim in their benefits paragraph: "flexible vacation, and flexible work schedules". The page separates where staff work (hybrid) from when they work, so the careers page states flexibility over timing at company level, though it ties it to "unstructured PTO", and no page defines it: no start and finish times, core hours, flexitime scheme or weekly-hours figure appears, and the adverts say only "Full-time".
Time off is called "unstructured PTO" on the careers page and "flexible vacation" in the adverts. Neither gives a number of days, and neither uses the word unlimited. Hybrid roles ask for about two days a week in the office (up to three for one Boulder role). The values section says "Work well, play well, be well. Our professional and personal activities are complementary." The one explicit caveat is the after-hours support duty on the Boulder Data Engineer II role.
