About the role

  • Monitor market alerts, operational notices, derates, outages, and topology changes across ERCOT (and additional ISOs as needed).
  • Track real-time system behavior, including flows, congestion patterns, and constraint activation.
  • Interpret weather forecasts and conditions to anticipate impacts on load, renewables, and thermal availability.
  • Maintain an up-to-date view of expected pricing based on fundamentals rather than statistical models.
  • Analyze price behavior, system lambdas, shadow prices, and congestion outcomes to explain deviations from forecasts.
  • Identify emerging drivers of price shifts and communicate them clearly and promptly.
  • Contribute to topology updates, constraint model assumptions, and other inputs that shape our price forecasts.
  • Develop short-horizon, fundamentals-based expectations for pricing events (“forecaster-in-the-loop”).
  • Conduct structured reviews of significant pricing events, identifying root causes and fundamental drivers.
  • Provide insights that help strategy owners refine assumptions, adjust models, and improve execution guardrails.
  • Synthesize lessons learned into repeatable frameworks and tools.
  • Provide real-time and short-term pricing context to strategy owners, engineers, and research scientists.
  • Help build or refine dashboards and tools that improve situational awareness for the broader team.
  • Communicate clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, distilling complex system behavior into actionable insight.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, power systems, operations research, physics, economics, mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
  • 3+ years of experience in US electricity markets in an analytical, operational, fundamentals, or trading-adjacent role.
  • Strong understanding of power system fundamentals including transmission topology, congestion formation, and unit commitment/economic dispatch dynamics.
  • Familiarity with at least one nodal market, ideally ERCOT.
  • Ability to monitor and interpret market events in real time, occasionally including early mornings or weekends.
  • Proficiency in SQL, Python, or similar tools for data retrieval and analysis.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to explain pricing dynamics clearly.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
Benefits
  • Competitive base salary and a comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and 401k package
  • Opportunity to own a significant piece of the company via a meaningful equity grant
  • Unlimited vacation and flexible work schedule
  • Accelerated professional growth and development opportunities through direct collaboration and mentorship from leading industry expert colleagues across energy and tech
