  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability for analytical outputs and decision support tools.
  • Flexibility to work outside standard business hours when market conditions require.
Preferred
  • Familiarity with optimization-based power flow models, energy storage dispatch, and market bidding strategies.
  • Experience applying machine learning techniques (e.g., regression, tree-based models, neural networks) to power market or price forecasting problems.
  • Exposure to deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and scikit-learn.
  • Experience with cloud-based data infrastructure, real-time data pipelines, or streaming market data workflows.
What We Offer
