About the job
Description

Uplight is creating a new category of energy. We make software that manages energy resources in homes and businesses including things like smart thermostats, electric vehicles, solar panels, storage batteries, heat pumps, and even people’s behavior to generate, shift, or save energy to balance the grid, making it more efficient and reliable. This creates clean energy capacity that can be used by the power grid instead of burning more fossil fuels. Our solutions accelerate the transition to clean energy and save money for energy customers.

We are looking for a Senior Analyst to drive our company forward, and help us lead the clean energy revolution! This is a flexible and remote-friendly role based in the United States with occasional travel for team offsites. You’ll join a purpose-driven, collaborative culture where curiosity, ownership, and impact are celebrated.
