  • Maintain and refine analytical models, pricing tools, and trade logs to support decision-making.
  • Liaise closely with operations, risk and compliance teams to ensure accurate trade capture, reporting, and governance.
  • Share market views and contribute to Neruda's broader energy trading strategy.

    (proprietary, hedge fund, or trading house background preferred).
  • Demonstrable track record of P&L generation and disciplined risk control.
  • Strong understanding of

    , and
    DFL/EFS
    structures.
  • Proficiency with
    ICE, CME, Refinitiv, Bloomberg, and Platts
    data.
  • Strong quantitative and analytical mindset with macro awareness.
  • High self-motivation, integrity, and ability to perform in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.

Why Join Neruda Capital
