Job description

Grid Commodities is looking for a quant trader who has already had an algorithm of their own running in a European power market, and who would rather describe a strategy to an AI and read what it wrote than type every line of it.

The loop is short: observe what the market did, work out why, turn it into an algorithm, and trade it. Observing means trading alongside our Conviction Trading Team, which is the fastest way to learn a market. You build the strategy and you carry how it performs.

We look for one year or more in a similar role and documented algorithmic experience in one or more European power markets — GB, NL or a neighbouring market. The trading platform is our own, and the backtest runs on order book data rather than settled prices, so the path from idea to production is short.

Aarhus, on site. The role takes part in day, evening and weekend work, always within 08:30-22:30. Fixed salary and bonus. We are willing to wait out a notice period or garden leave for the right person.
