Role description

We are currently recruiting for an Algo Trading Developer on a contract basis for an energy trading firm in London, to help shape the future of intraday power trading.

What You'll Do:

   • Design, develop, and optimize low-latency trading algorithms in C# for power and gas markets, with a focus on intraday trading strategies.

   • Collaborate closely with traders, quants, and analysts to identify opportunities and turn ideas into production-ready code.

   • Enhance our existing trading platform, improving performance, scalability, and automation.

   • Work on integration with market data providers and exchange APIs (e.g., EPEX, Nord Pool, or similar).

   • Contribute to backtesting frameworks, data analytics, and monitoring tools to support decision-making.

What We're Looking For:

   • Strong C#/.NET development skills with clean, maintainable coding practices.

   • Proven experience in algorithmic or systematic trading, ideally in energy markets.

   • Deep understanding of intraday power trading, including market dynamics, order books, and constraints.

   • Familiarity with multithreading, real-time data processing, and performance tuning.

   • Bonus: experience with Python, F#, or time-series databases (InfluxDB, kdb+, etc).

This would be a hybrid role, with 2 days per week required in their London offices - paying upwards of £800pd. If you think you'd be a good fit, don't hesitate to apply for immediate consideration!
