• Contribute to existing- and developing new algorithmic trading and asset optimization strategies.
• Conduct rigorous backtesting of trading strategies using historical data to assess performance and refine models.
• Monitor the performance of trading algorithms, identify any issues or anomalies, and deploy necessary adjustments to ensure optimal performance.
• Contribute to the technical frameworks (Python) to ensure consistent and synergetic development of our trading abstractions.
• Proactively ensure quality in both execution and governance.

Qualifications – we imagine that you:

• Have excellent quantitative modeling skills (e.g., statistics, econometrics, applied mathematics, engineering, physics).
• Have great coding skills (we use Python extensively, although the specific language is not a hard requirement).
• Have experience or a keen interest in learning about markets, in particular energy markets.
• Are fluent in English, both written and verbal.

Personal skills – we expect that you:

• Demonstrate a high level of motivation and drive.
• Possess a collaborative mindset, with an emphasis on cross-team and cross-functional cooperation.

• You will collaborate with other algorithmic traders and quants.
• We will provide you with opportunities to develop both professionally and personally.
• We will provide you with flexibility and autonomy to drive real impact.
• You will be part of a distinctive company culture that embodies our core values of honesty, transparency, and rethinking, free from the frustrations of excessive rules, policies, and bureaucratic processes.

About InCommodities
We’re InCommodities: One of the fastest growing trading companies in the world. The energy market is transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and we take part in making that happen

At InCommodities, we support the transition by acting as the middleman between sellers and buyers of power and gas - we transport energy across borders where it’s needed, or we store it and sell it later, providing a vital function in the value chain from production to consumption. InCommodities’ business and decision-making are driven by a deep understanding of the energy markets and based on quantitative analysis and rethinking what we do.

Making InCommodities outstanding requires all types of people with different personalities, backgrounds, and approaches to solving different tasks and projects. But one thing connects us: we're fuelled by new ideas and rethinking the status quo.

Our Culture
We value a strong social culture with a high frequency of employee events outside the office. We want to win and be the best in class – therefore, you'll be surrounded by like-minded people who are bold, honest, ambitious, and the smartest in their field, and who root for one another, as we value a genuine sense of team spirit.

To help each other grow, we use honest and constructive feedback and sparring within and across teams. Personality and cultural fit are important to us because we want you to be happy here. The work culture is relaxed; you don’t have to abide by a dress code or a strict hierarchy, so you won’t be frustrated with too many rules, policies, or bureaucratic processes.

In other words, InCommodities is not your average workplace – it’s awesome.

Application deadline:
As soon as possible.
