OVERVIEW

Quantile Energy is a fast-growing, systematic short-term power trading start-up. We combine quantitative research, automation, and real-time decision-making to trade across GB and European power markets. Our mission is to build the most advanced short-term trading desk in the energy trading space by leveraging data to it's fullest.

THE ROLE

Graduates will be deeply involved in both research and live trading operations. You will help shape the next generation of Quantile Energy's trading systems. Core responsibilities include:

  • Trading strategy development: Research, build, and backtest short-term power trading signals and models. Contribute ideas that transition from prototype to production trading.
  • Deep market and data analysis: Work with high-frequency market data, renewable forecasts, interconnector flows, system conditions, and liquidity patterns to extract insight and build tools that directly support trading.
  • Execution research and operational support: Monitor markets, assess execution performance, identify edge cases, and contribute to real-time decision-making on the desk.
  • Pathway to trading: As your understanding of the market and strategy frameworks grows, you will take increasing responsibility for trade decisions, risk ownership, and strategy optimisation.

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

  • Strong programming ability in Python, particularly for data analysis, visualisation, modelling, and backtesting.
  • Exposure to statistics, regressions, time-series analysis, optimisation, or machine learning.
  • Interest in electricity markets, commodities, macro, or high-frequency trading environments.
  • Ability to work with large datasets and transform raw data into usable features.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly.
  • Ability to prioritise, work independently, and operate in a fast-paced environment.

  • Is excited to work collaboratively within a small, sharp, entrepreneurial trading team.
  • Is curious, analytical, and comfortable exploring messy real-world datasets.
  • Has strong problem-solving instincts and enjoys building elegant solutions under time pressure.
