- Team collaboration: Work closely with experienced and data driven traders and software developers to translate market insights into actionable tools and models.
- Innovation: Research and implement new technologies and methodologies to stay ahead in energy market modeling and analytics.
What we’re looking for:
We’re looking for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and is eager to solve complex problems from the ground up with next-level curiosity. Being a successful quantitative analyst in MFT Energy isn’t just about having a strong track record. It’s about bringing your experience and skills into play while staying curious, driven, and open to learning.
