Intro

Hamburg | base 80.000 – 100.000€ per year | 30 Days Vacation | English B2/C1

Are you enthusiastic about intelligent and effective software solutions to the energy transition? Join us at suena energy as Senior Quant Trading Analyst (f/m/x) and experience a role that offers much more than “just” trading: You’ll combine market strategy, hands‑on execution, and direct PnL responsibility across European power markets—using cutting‑edge tools and shaping the processes yourself.

suena energy is a green tech startup specializing in algorithmic energy trading for energy storage systems and renewable energies.
Our vision : a world where clean energy is used reliably, economically, and intelligently. With our AI‑based optimization and trading software, we maximize the revenues of operators of large‑scale energy storage and renewable assets on short‑term electricity and balancing markets - while simultaneously minimizing their risks.

We’re a team of 45 people, combining a warm, supportive team culture with true startup drive. Following our successful Series A, we’re investing in expanding our team – and we’re excited to strengthen our team with new talent and continue growing together.

What sets this seat apart?

• Build & shape trading workflows: This is not a classic trading seat – you’ll actively design, optimize, and scale our trading workflows and strategies. Your quant and algo skills will directly influence how our system trades, adapts, and evolves. You’re here to build, not just operate.
• Modern trading tools : Work with PowerBot - the new kid on the block in trading tech - and other advanced tools.
• High speed, zero bureaucracy : Make decisions and see your impact - no corporate red tape, just agile execution.
• Strategy is core to your role : You actively shape, refine, and own trading strategies - contributing to the foundation of our trading setup.

Who you’ll work with:

• Trading & Tech Crew: Collaborate daily with a cross‑functional team of developers, data scientists, traders and trading analysts - everyone close to the action, no silos.
• Sparring partner: Juri – an experienced trader (ex-Sunnic, ex-Centrica, ex-Vattenfall), expert in renewables and algo trading. You’ll complement his market expertise with your quant and strategy skills, shaping and advancing our trading setup together.

Your mission

• Strategy Development: Develop and refine models, test new approaches, and collaborate closely with quants, data scientists, and developers.
• Risk Management: Spot risks early, think in scenarios, and ensure we’re prepared for anything.
• Quantitative Analysis: Use Python and other tools to analyze and optimize trading operations, and develop new strategies.
• Live Trading: Monitor markets, prices, and live trading results; react quickly to anomalies; improve our automated processes.

Your profile

• At least 3 years’ experience in power trading (CWE or UK), covering the full trade lifecycle.
• Analytical and strategic thinker – you leverage data, mathematics, and logic to develop new trading approaches and spot market opportunities.
• Experience optimizing processes, developing tools, and ideally trading renewables.
• Python or SQL skills are mandatory – or you impress with hands‑on trading experience.
• Fluent English (written and spoken); German is a bonus.
• You stay sharp and make confident decisions—even when the pressure is on.
• Startup mentality: you embrace change, seize opportunities, and love to get things done.
• You thrive in a collaborative, team‑driven environment and take ownership of your results.

Why us?

• Shape the Future: Help drive the energy transition with us! Join a booming market, real startup spirit, and make your mark in sustainability.
• Connecting & Co-Creating: Strategy off‑sites (like Denmark 2024) and onsite weeks for real collaboration and shared ideas.
• Work Your Way: Home office and flexible hours – you know what works best for you and your team.
• Team Spirit: Yoga, shared lunches, after‑work fun – we support each other and keep the vibe strong, even when it’s busy. Barista, DJ, guitarist included – we can’t wait to discover your hidden talent!
• Fair & Transparent: Clear structures, democratic decisions, and a feedback culture where your voice counts.
• Body & Mind: Urban Sports Club membership, wellbeing check‑ins, and mental health support – your energy matters.
• New Office Vibes: 10th‑floor office with rooftop terrace, canteen, great views, ergonomic desks, hardware of your choice, and pet‑friendly!
• Sustainable Extras: Deutschlandticket, FutureBens, and more – supporting your mobility and future.
