Data Scientist Short Term Trading

Your work will impact Eneco's trade result and contributes to a smarter, cleaner energy system. You will build optimization strategies, bidding algorithms and machine learning models that operate in fast-moving, real-time energy markets (such as real time trading applications for battery optimization). You will work side by side with other data scientists and traders to see where data science can add the most value. We aim to have a fast feedback loop of deploying, learning and adjusting, meaning that there is a strong focus on ownership and scalable automation of processes. Deploying your model makes real world impact - often the same day! You will be working with large and growing datasets, so a continuous effort to improve forecasting, modelling, and decision support tooling is essential to stay ahead. Apart from developing these models you will also play a pivotal role to productionize those in a robust and reliable manner. Is this about you?, * You do not hesitate to reach out to stakeholders from the business or IT side to make sure you build the best solution possible.
