Algorithmic Trader | Multi-GW Renewables & BESS Optimization Location: Brussels (Hybrid) Experience: 5–15 Years Sector: Systematic Energy Trading
The Role
We are representing a Global Energy Major currently undergoing a massive strategic shift toward a fully automated, data-driven trading floor. This is a "Greenfield-within-a-Giant" opportunity. You will be a founding member of a high-octane team tasked with building the algorithmic engine for one of Europe’s largest renewable portfolios.
We aren't looking for a "developer" to take tickets. We are looking for a Trader-Architect who can own the journey from a raw market signal to a live, production-grade execution algorithm.
The Mission
Portfolio Optimization: Build and deploy systematic strategies for a multi-gigawatt portfolio of Battery Storage (BESS), Wind, and Solar assets.
Market Alpha: Research and capture value across Day-Ahead, Intraday, and Ancillary Services markets.
Systems Architecture: Don't just write scripts—design a robust, low-latency trading framework that scales.
Hybrid Intelligence: Partner with the manual Short-Term desk to create "Cyborg" strategies that blend human market intuition with algorithmic precision.
The Profile
The Background: 5+ years in a high-pressure quantitative environment (HFT, Prop Trading, FinTech, or a Tier-1 Commodity house).
The Rigor: A Master’s or PhD in a "hard" science (Math, Physics, Engineering, or CS).
The Craft: Expert-level Python is non-negotiable. You write "production-grade" code—robust, testable, and maintainable. You understand that simplicity is a craft, not a shortcut.
The Hunger: You don't wait for permission. You identify market inefficiencies and convert them into systematic value. You are a "hunter" of signals.
Why This Desk?
Real-World Impact: You are optimizing physical assets that keep the European grid stable. Your code has a direct effect on the energy transition.
High-Trust Environment: This is a recently formed, highly motivated unit. We value independent thinking, intellectual honesty, and proactivity over corporate hierarchy.
Complexity: If you find Equities or FX boring, welcome to Power Markets—the most volatile, complex, and rewarding "beast" in the trading world right now.
