The role will be primarily based in our London office, with occasional travel to the Leeds office.\nThe successful candidate will design, build and continually enhance the data, applications and analytical tools supporting TTEP across the full energy trade lifecycle, from trading positions and operational activity through to settlement, P&L and realised commercial performance, with the initial focus being on Settlements and Commercial Finance, automating manual processes, strengthening controls and developing scalable solutions for settlement assurance, position reporting, P&L and wider commercial analysis across TTEP’s portfolio of CCGT, Biomass and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) assets.\nOur ideal candidate will be commercially curious and genuinely interested in energy trading, with a desire to understand not just how the systems and data work, but how trading decisions are made, how value is created and how operational and settlement outcomes ultimately impact commercial performance. Working closely with various teams across the business, the role will provide the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of how energy is traded, dispatched, settled and ultimately reflected in financial performance. As the role develops, there will be opportunities to work more closely with the Quantitative Analytics and Trading teams on analytical tools, models and applications that support trading decisions and wider commercial optimisation.\nKey Responsibilities & Accountabilities\nReporting to the Senior Commercial Finance Manager, the key duties and responsibilities will include:\nDevelop Across the Energy Trade Lifecycle: Take technical ownership of data flows, applications, automated controls and reporting solutions within Settlements and Commercial Finance, connecting trading positions and operational activity through to settlement, P&L and realised commercial performance.\nAutomate Settlement Processes: Work closely with the Settlements team to understand existing processes, calculations, controls and exceptions, and develop automated solutions across power, gas, carbon, BESS and ancillary services that reduce manual workload and strengthen operational resilience.\nDevelop P&L & Position Reporting: Build and continually improve applications and automated reporting supporting position monitoring, P&L, gross margin analysis and other Commercial Finance requirements.\nDefine Data Requirements: Identify the data required for Settlements and Commercial Finance solutions, collaborate with Data Architecture to make that data available in Microsoft Fabric, and build Python applications and analytical tools that consume and validate it.\n Integrate Systems: Work with IT and Data Architecture to support integration between Aligne (ETRM), Microsoft Fabric, external market operators and internal systems, ensuring the data required for commercial applications is available and reliable.\nDesign Controls & Exception Reporting: Build automated reconciliation, validation and exception-management tools that improve data quality, strengthen financial and settlement controls and allow issues to be identified and investigated efficiently.\nDevelop Analytical Applications: Replace manual spreadsheet-based processes with scalable applications, dashboards and analytical tools that improve the availability, accuracy and usability of commercial information.\nBuild Reliable Operational Solutions: Design applications and data pipelines with appropriate monitoring, error handling, controls and recovery processes, recognising that developed solutions may support business-critical trading, settlement and financial activities.\nMaintain Engineering Standards: Develop robust and maintainable software using Git-based version control, testing, code review, documentation and deployment practices, working within TTEP's evolving technical architecture and development standards.\nDevelop Commercial & Market Understanding: Build a strong understanding of TTEP's trading, operational and settlement processes, relevant GB energy market arrangements and the commercial purpose of the applications being developed, ensuring technical solutions accurately reflect underlying business requirements.\nCollaborate Across Technical & Commercial Teams: Work closely with Settlements, Commercial Finance, Trading, Quantitative Analytics, IT, Data Architecture and external technical providers to translate business requirements into effective and maintainable technical solutions. \nSupport Wider Commercial Analytics: Contribute to the development of credit exposure, collateral monitoring and other data-driven Commercial Finance reporting, controls and analytical capability.\nSupport Wider Trading Development: As the role and technical capability develop, contribute to the development and improvement of Trading tools and analytical applications, working alongside Trading and Quantitative Analytics where appropriate.\nPerson Specification\n Knowledge & Experience\nStrong proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience working with databases and large datasets.\nStrong working knowledge of Git/GitHub and modern software development practices, including testing, code review and documentation.\nExperience developing production-quality software, APIs, data pipelines and system integrations.\nExperience delivering medium or large-scale software, data or analytical projects from requirements through to implementation.\nExperience building solutions that support business-critical or operational processes.\nExperience handling time-series, metering, transactional, financial or other complex operational datasets.\nFamiliarity with energy markets (power/gas) or power settlement rules (e.g. Elexon, BSC) is desirable, but an exceptional technical problem-solver is more important than prior industry experience. \nExperience with Azure / Microsoft Fabric is desirable.\nSkills & Behaviours\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to turn complex requirements into practical technical solutions.\nCommercially curious, with an interest in understanding the full energy trade lifecycle.\nAble to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. \nComfortable collaborating across Commercial Finance, Trading, Quantitative Analytics, IT, Data Architecture and third-party software providers. \nProactive, self-starting and able to take ownership of solutions through to implementation and ongoing improvement, with a genuine passion for software development, automation and continuous improvement.\n Qualifications\nDegree qualified (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Data Science, Quantitative Finance or another highly analytical discipline. \nFurther Information\n Recruitment Agencies\nThis role is being advertised directly by TTEP UK&I Investments Ltd. At our discretion, we will contact select recruitment partners and kindly ask that agencies do not contact us regarding this vacancy.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7111,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Oil & Gas"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T23:32:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":50,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.67,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":22,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:3","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/epuki-energy-trading-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/epuki-energy-trading-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T09:32:48Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12108,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2325989},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2325989"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fepuki-energy-trading-developer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fepuki-energy-trading-developer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fepuki-energy-trading-developer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/epuki-energy-trading-developer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fepuki-energy-trading-developer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2573656}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"epuki.co.uk","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2573656},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
