You'll optimize revenue across ancillary, day-ahead, and intraday markets, monitor live results, report performance and risk, and participate in scenario testing for new geographies or

Qualifications

• Proven modelling experience in energy, with direct exposure to European intraday power markets.
• Strong forecasting, optimization, and pricing across ancillary, day‑ahead, and intraday markets, with intraday focus.
• Familiarity with market design, regulatory frameworks, power fundamentals, volatility, and market dynamics.
• Strong programming capability (Python required; SQL and data pipelines or model deployment a plus).
• Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in a quantitative field such as Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or similar.

Responsibilities

• Design, backtest, and continuously improve intraday trading algorithms — arbitrage and proprietary strategies — applying revenue‑optimization thinking across ancillary, day‑ahead, and intraday markets so strategies fit the portfolio’s full revenue stack.
• Execute trades with discipline and strong market feel while adhering to risk limits and governance frameworks.
• Build and maintain quantitative models for price forecasting, degradation‑adjusted cycling economics, and cross‑market arbitrage (ancillary vs. wholesale vs. tolling).
• Monitor the performance of Ingrid’s automated trading platform, pinpointing where live results deviate from the theoretical optimum and diagnosing why.
• Collaborate closely with the engineering team to translate strategy logic into production code — this is not a hand‑off‑and‑wait role.
• Conduct scenario and stress‑testing ahead of new market entries (new geographies or products).
• Report on trading performance and risk exposure to leadership, including drawdown explanations and capacity utilisation metrics.
• Take part in day‑time trading shifts, with occasional weekend coverage to monitor live strategy performance.
