Vistra Corp. Tech Stack
Fortune 500 power generation and retail electricity operator across North America
Vistra operates a diversified generation fleet (natural gas, nuclear, coal, solar, battery storage) and retail electricity business across a 5,000+ person org. The tech stack is predominantly operational and financial (Excel, Tableau, SQL, SAP, Salesforce, Maximo, SCADA/DCS systems) with no notable AI/ML or modern data infrastructure adoption — typical for large incumbent utilities. Active hiring (311 roles, 154 in last 30 days) is engineering-heavy (107 roles) focused on plant uprates, solar installations, and remote telemetry, signaling capital-intensive modernization rather than software velocity.
