Job description

Principal Consultant at Saragossa - Creating competitive advantage for investment technology organisations| Front office

Want to apply your optimisation skills to power market modelling that directly supports trading decisions?

This role sits within a front‑office analytics team, focused on improving price forecasting models that support power trading across Europe. It’s a hands‑on position combining mathematical modelling, optimisation, and programming, with close interaction with the stakeholders.

You’ll work on enhancing existing medium‑to‑long‑term power market models – improving how they forecast and optimise under changing market conditions. That means applying optimisation and analytical techniques, refining model assumptions, and ensuring robust performance of production tools.

Day to day, you’ll collaborate closely with traders, quants and engineers, working mainly in Python and Java. A background in power systems, front‑office modelling, or optimisation in the energy space will be key to success here.
