  • Algorithm Development: Design, implement, and maintain production code for sophisticated bidding, optimization, simulation, and forecasting algorithms
  • Research and Innovation: Prototype, benchmark, deploy and monitor advanced algorithmic features that account for uncertainties in prices and clearing outcomes, optimally allocate quantities to maximize risk adjusted revenues, reason about interactions with strategic competitors, account for influence of quantity on clearing prices, etc. for large fleets of utility-scale storage assets and Virtual Power Plants
  • Domain Expertise: Become an expert in electricity markets and grid, and the various facets of operating in them
  • Technical Leadership: Guide algorithmic decisions to balance performance and complexity, and make thoughtful design and infrastructure choices that facilitate a positive developer experience in the long run
  • Tooling, Simulation and Monitoring: Develop tooling and simulation systems to monitor and track field performance of assets. Define metrics to quantify, track, and improve specific areas of performance, and drive algorithm changes to enhance asset performance under management
  • Roadmap Planning, Product and Business Development: Plan technical roadmaps and lead execution. Inform product definition and business development
  • Mentorship and cross-functional collaboration: Mentor and develop a growing team of exceptional algorithm engineers. Work with ML engineers, traders, market analysts, and software engineers to ensure algorithms drive end-to-end value
What You’ll Bring
  • 4+ years' experience in developing and maintaining production software systems
  • Proficiency in modern programming languages, such as Python
  • Experience in writing high-quality production code
  • Experience in building real-world products and solutions using numerical optimization technology (LP, MILP, nonlinear optimization, etc.) and solvers such as Gurobi, XPRESS, GLPK, CPLEX, etc.
  • Knowledge of the energy and electricity market

 

Preferred, additional skills:

  • Domain expertise in forecasting, analysis, or trading in the GB electricity market (or other electricity markets)
  • Experience with cloud-hosted systems and related tooling, including compute services (e.g. EC2, GCP Compute Engine) and container orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes, Docker)
  • Expertise in numerical optimization, operations research, and related mathematical fields, such as stochastic control, optimal control, and computational finance
  • Experience in researching, developing, and deploying new algorithmic strategies to solve complex optimization problems, including decision-making under uncertainty, scenario optimization, MDPs, financial risk modeling, and distributed/decentralized control
