General information

Vistra is an integrated power company. It generates electricity from natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, and battery storage, with about 39GW of capacity, and it is the largest competitive power generator in the United States. It sells that power to homes and businesses under retail brands such as TXU Energy, Dynegy, Homefield Energy, and Ambit. Vistra is based in Dallas, United States.

Vistra took its current form in 2016, when Texas Competitive Electric Holdings emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It is now a public company on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker VST and is part of the S&P 500. In 2024 it reported $17.2 billion in revenue and about 6,850 employees. For someone weighing a career there, that mix matters: a public, S&P 500 company built around large power plants rather than a small office operation.

Currently, there's a total of 184 job openings at Vistra. Over the last 30 days, 145 jobs were added and 56 were removed (job postings usually stay up ~12 days before being removed).1

  1. 1. Company description. Written by InterviewOS from Vistra's public materials and press coverage; facts are checked against the sources below.
  2. 2. Weekly counts. A count is the number of listings the pipeline saw for the first time in that week. Weeks begin Monday; the onboarding week is excluded from the scale and every average.
  3. 3. Live counts. Deduplicated live listings observed daily on Vistra's own hiring system; last check September 12, 2026. Stale and syndicated posts on aggregator sites are not counted.
  4. 4. Posted pay. Ranges extracted from the text of Vistra's own listings; a range appears only when the employer printed one. Extraction is still rolling out, so this table can lag the board.
