  • Candidates with the drive, work ethic, and desire to learn and quickly advance in their careers.
  • Knowledge of referential databases, such as SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL.
  • Knowledge of wholesale electricity markets is a plus.
  • Our Values
  • Ascend Analytics promotes a culture of teamwork, inclusion, work-life balance, creative thinking, and learning. We work with five core pillars:
  • Integrity: We act with honesty and uphold the highest ethical standards, doing the right thing even when it's difficult.
  • Purpose Driven: We are united with a shared purpose to deliver meaningful impact on our customers, our industry, and the energy transition to a low-carbon future.
  • Belonging: We foster a respectful, inclusive environment where everyone is valued, diverse perspectives are embraced, and fair opportunities are provided for all.
  • Innovation: We predict and address new challenges, embracing change and continuous improvement
  • One Team Mindset: We collaborate across teams and functions, supporting one another and prioritizing shared success over individual wins.

  • Parental leave for growing families.
  • FSA, HSA, and dependent care accounts.

You’ll enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, flexible work hours, a collaborative environment, and real opportunities for advancement.
  • Collaboration is in our DNA, and we thrive on the energy of working together — the spontaneous ideas, face-to-face teamwork, and culture you can only build in a room.
  • But we also value the focus and freedom that remote flexibility brings. That's why our Boulder, CO office and Raleigh, NC workspace run on a hybrid schedule (3 days in-office, 2 days remote).
  • Need accommodations? Contact us at [email protected].
  • Ascend Analytics is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to an inclusive environment for all employees regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, veteran status, disability, or genetic information.
  • By applying, you'll be considered for this role as positions open, and we'll follow up directly when there's a match to discuss next steps. Have questions about our hiring timeline? Reach out to us — happy to clarify what to expect.
  • Note: We regret that we are currently unable to offer visa sponsorship.
