The job

Heres what the job entails

More specifically, your responsibilities include:

designing and documenting data solutions, aligning the design with relevant architectural stakeholders, and taking responsibility for implementation and delivery quality

taking ownership of critical production issues, identifying root causes and driving pragmatic solutions that restore reliable operation and prevent recurrence

The team

Meet the team

In the US Product Team, we collaborate closely with traders, quants, and engineers to design, scale, and operate the Databricks platform that underpins our algorithmic trading capabilities in US energy markets. We have the autonomy to drive technical decisions, experiment with emerging AI technologies, and influence the future direction of both our data platform and engineering culture.

We are a team of five experienced data and software engineers with different technical backgrounds, who value practical solutions and high engineering quality. We share knowledge openly, challenge ideas constructively and support one another when priorities or operational issues require a joint effort. We are curious about the energy trading business and collaborate across teams to understand the full value chain behind the systems we build. Thus, we sit close to the Quantitative Analysts and Traders for instant feedback and to make the business impact of our work visible.

You’ll help shape the data platform behind US Power Trading, building scalable solutions on Databricks and Azure while exploring how AI can create smarter and more efficient ways of working.
