The posting
Combine weather modelling, machine learning and Python to turn complex data into actionable insights and production-ready solutions that support trading decisions across various power markets.
The job
Here’s what the job entails
In the role, you will work at the intersection of weather data modelling and fundamental forecasting, driving research and innovation within quantitative weather analysis.
More specifically, your responsibilities include:
- conducting research in AI- and data-driven weather modelling within a power trading context
- developing and improving fundamental forecasting solutions that translate weather signals into actionable power market insights
- performing ad hoc weather and market analyses to support trading, renewable asset balancing and commercial decision-making
- exploring new data sources, modelling approaches and analytical methods to strengthen our quantitative weather capabilities
- turning research and analysis into robust, scalable solutions that can be used directly by traders and algorithms
The team
Meet the team
You will join our Quantitative Weather Analysis team, where we develop weather-driven insights, forecasts and models that support trading decisions and renewable asset optimisation across our business.
We are a team of specialists with backgrounds in data science, physics and computational biophysics. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves, and aim to create an informal atmosphere and a team where people genuinely enjoy working together. We also value spending time with each other beyond the task at hand, whether that is grabbing a coffee, having lunch or simply catching up during the day. Together, we have built a culture where we help each other, share knowledge freely and feel comfortable asking questions or challenging ideas.
By combining multidimensional weather data, machine learning and market understanding, you’ll help shape trading decisions and optimise the balancing of our renewable asset portfolio.
