The Opportunity
We are working with a leading global proprietary trading firm looking to expand its systematic power trading platform with an experienced quantitative power trader.

You will develop, implement, and manage systematic trading strategies across either European or US power markets.
The firm is particularly interested in traders with a proven strategy or differentiated approach that they are looking to scale within an established quantitative platform.
You will work alongside experienced researchers, engineers, and traders while retaining ownership of your strategy and risk. The firm provides the capital, technology, and infrastructure, allowing you to focus on research, execution, and generating alpha.

- Proven track record in systematic or quantitatively driven power trading.
- Strong understanding of power market fundamentals, market microstructure, and quantitative modelling.
- Demonstrated experience developing and running profitable trading strategies.
- Candidates with an existing strategy they are looking to scale are particularly encouraged to apply.

- Experience working with large datasets, statistical analysis, and model development.
- Strong analytical and risk management skills.
What's on Offer
- Access to institutional-grade research, technology, and execution infrastructure.
- Significant capital allocation for proven strategies.
- High degree of autonomy within a globally recognised quantitative trading platform.
- Collaboration with experienced quantitative researchers, developers, and traders.
- Highly competitive, performance-linked compensation, with substantial upside based on strategy performance.
Growth
The firm is focused on backing successful traders over the long term. As your strategy develops, there is scope to increase capital allocation, expand into additional markets, build out research capabilities, and play a significant role in growing the wider power trading platform.
If you're an experienced systematic power trader with a differentiated edge in European or US power markets and are looking for the capital, technology, and autonomy to scale your strategy, we'd be keen to hear from you.
