About the Role
The successful candidate is someone with very strong quantitative and research skills, who is looking to work in a small, dynamic environment where their efforts are directly tied to commercial decisions and outcomes. The candidate should be extremely adept at communicating information and analyses transparently. They should be comfortable making hypotheses and judgments from incomplete information and learning from that experience.
Your job will be to research and model supply and demand fundamentals and grid congestion in nodal ISO markets. You will work closely with a team of energy trading professionals from diverse backgrounds that include economics, operations research, physics, electrical engineering, and business.
You will build and manage models intended to predict electricity market prices. This will include developing models to produce energy demand forecasts, renewable generation forecasts, utility-scale battery models; and incorporating the results of those models into larger, energy system models. Model inputs will need to be collected, cleaned, and stored. Inputs and outputs will be stored in SQL databases, managed by you.
You will have to be self-sufficient in accessing, managing, and dissecting voluminous data on the power markets and constantly improving and calibrating our modeling efforts.
