Job description

My client in Aarhus are looking for a Senior Quant with a focus on the EU intraday market to join their team.

What you will own:

Important: You do not need to be a pure Quant or Machine Learning specialist. The core requirement is the combination of market understanding and hands-on experience developing automated strategies.

• Develop automated trading strategies for European intraday power markets.
• Contribute meaningfully across the full algorithm-development feedback loop: hypothesis, implementation, evaluation and improvement.
• Use strong market knowledge to identify where automation can create an edge.
• Help shape how the European intraday capability develops, including when and where the team should be present.
• Take ownership while collaborating with experienced traders, quants and engineers.
• Move from analysis to production-minded implementation, then learn from results and iterate.
• Meaningful experience in European intraday power markets.
• Direct experience developing automated or systematic trading strategies.
• Evidence that you have owned a material part of the strategy-development feedback loop, rather than only providing analysis or tools to others.
• The ability to form a market hypothesis, implement it, evaluate performance and improve the strategy.
• Strong judgement about market structure, opportunity selection and practical execution.

Seniority and independence: you can pull your own weight in algorithm development and help shape the direction of the desk.

They can offer support for relocation if you have the above experience and work at a senior level
