ADP, Inc.; Houston (TX); Hybrid; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

REV Renewables seeks a leader for its Energy Management Systems platform in Houston. You will own the trade capture, valuation, and position management foundation, while guiding a cross-functional team of developers and traders.

The role blends architecture, data engineering, and platform operations to deliver accurate, auditable reporting. You will manage production systems end-to-end, ensure security and compliance, and collaborate with IT to scale infrastructure.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or Computer Science.
• 10+ years of relevant experience, with demonstrated hands-on ownership of core platform and ETRM components and a genuine appreciation for quality control, controls, and compliance.
• Strong quantitative developer background: proficiency in Python; experience manipulating and persisting time series data with dataframe libraries and columnar storage; data modeling and API development.
• Demonstrated ownership of production systems; working knowledge of security principles, segregation-of-duties, and access controls in an energy trading context.
• Earns trust across a wide spectrum of technical and non-technical stakeholders; strong communicator who can translate between front-office needs and IT/infrastructure teams.
• Ownership mentality, intellectual curiosity, and entrepreneurial drive; comfortable operating as both a manager and an individual contributor in a lean, high-expectations environment.
• Preferred: machine learning experience; Kubernetes/cloud-native DevOps (EKS, Helm, Docker); broad US power market and energy trading-product knowledge, power analytical capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and direct the Quant and Systems Developer: set priorities, own the development backlog, provide technical direction and performance feedback, and ensure the developer’s work aligns with platform architecture and controls standards.
• Support all platform users — from no-code dashboard consumers to quantitative developers — through hands-on 1-on-1 sessions; act as a knowledge hub to unblock work, share best practices, and raise the collective technical bar.
• Own the integrity of the ETRM platform and remain an active individual contributor: personally design, build, and maintain core components including trade capture, position management, valuation, and risk analytics — setting the technical standard by example, not delegation alone.
• Own the core python libraries and platform architecture; define and steward the guardrails, patterns, and standards that let users and AI agents build freely and safely while keeping the maintenance burden low.
• Review and approve all production-bound code changes, including those from the Quant and Systems Developer; validate logic, test coverage, and documentation before merge to main.
• Maintain and evolve software development best practices — merge controls, code review, testing, and documentation — and react decisively to production issues, code fixes, and ad-hoc priorities as they arise.
• Serve as the accountable owner for system governance: define and enforce change management, access provisioning, data classification, and audit-trail requirements in alignment with IT security policies, SOC controls, and any applicable NERC/FERC obligations.
• Mature the platform’s security and authorization model to enable granular access workflows and activity monitoring; enforce segregation-of-duties across all user types and environments.
• Own incident response and business continuity: triage production issues alongside the developer, maintain runbooks, communicate proactively to trading and management stakeholders during outages or data integrity events, and drive continuous improvement to reduce off-hours support needs.
• Act as the primary liaison between the front office (trading, structuring, analytics, quant) and IT; lead the cloud and infrastructure resource planning process by scoping, sizing, and approving compute, storage, and network requirements for the ETRM in partnership with IT.
• Establish and maintain transparent, automated information flows for portfolio position, dispatch analytics, and hedge reporting; ensure all pipelines produce outputs that are accurate, timely, and auditable by trading, risk, and finance.
