We're pioneers at the forefront of the global energy transition - pushing boundaries, turning bold ideas into reality, and solving the problems that matter most.\nThe INtelligent GRID of tomorrow needs to absorb and release more power. We develop, build and operate high-performance batteries - the lungs of modern energy infrastructure - enabling a more flexible and resilient energy supply across Europe. With 500 MW already deployed across the Nordics and rapid expansion into continental Europe, we manage, optimize and trade both our own assets and those of third parties through our sophisticated tech platform, making every battery - and the entire grid - stronger.\nWatch our film\nAbout the role\nWe’re growing our BESS and renewable trading team and looking for a power trader to take operational ownership of our trading algorithms across day-ahead auctions, Nordic ancillary capacity auctions, and the continuous intraday market. This is a hands-on, market-facing role: you’ll be the person monitoring the algorithms and trade execution, tuning parameters, and making sure our algorithms behave as intended in live markets, pairing strong market knowledge and technical fluency with disciplined execution - rather than building models from scratch.\nYou’ll also contribute to the development of new trading strategies and work in close cooperation with our Asset Management, Algo, Quant, and Engineering teams to keep trading activity aligned with the broader portfolio and technical roadmap.\nThe role requires operational shift work, including weekend coverage, to ensure our trading algorithms are monitored across all trading and delivery hours.\nWhat you'll do\nMonitor and operate BESS trading algorithms in real time across day-ahead, ancillary, and intraday markets - adjusting parameters and intervening or overriding the automated engine when needed, in response to changing market conditions or unexpected events (e.g. price anomalies, grid events or asset outages).\n\nValidate that bids generated by the optimization engine are correctly submitted to day-ahead auctions and Nordic ancillary capacity auctions (FCR, aFRR, mFRR).\n\nReconcile and validate trade results against expected outcomes, flagging and investigating discrepancies.\n\nTrack and report on algorithm performance across all traded markets, identifying where live performance deviates from theoretical/backtested expectations.\n\nAct as the operational point of contact for settlement, imbalance, and BRP-related matters, including day-to-day interactions with TSOs and other market counterparties.\n\nSupport the algo and quant teams in developing and refining new trading strategies across ancillary, day-ahead, and intraday markets, contributing a trader’s-eye view of market behaviour and edge cases.\n\nAct as the operational link between live trading and the Asset Management, Algo, and Engineering teams, keeping trading activity aligned with portfolio, technical, and strategic requirements.\n\nBack test algorithm performance and contribute to the evaluation framework used to assess new strategies before deployment.\n\nYour qualifications and experience\n2-5 years of hands-on operational experience in a similar trading, dispatch, balancing, or portfolio operations role within the European power industry is required.\n\nSolid understanding of wholesale power markets (day-ahead, intraday, balancing) and how Nordic ancillary service markets function (FCR, aFRR, mFRR).\n\nUnderstanding of BESS revenue streams and how they interact across markets.\n\nGood knowledge of the energy regulatory landscape, including REMIT, BRP obligations, settlement and imbalance processes, TSO market pre-qualification requirements, and day-to-day interactions with TSOs.\n\nComfortable working with algorithmic and automated trading setups.\n\nStrong attention to detail, with the ability to work independently and make real-time decisions under pressure.\n\nProgramming skills, particularly Python, for analyzing algo output and reviewing back tests - not required, but a strong plus.\n\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g. engineering, business, finance, physics, energy systems), or equivalent practical experience.\n\nYour personal skills\nBeyond technical experience, we’re looking for someone with the right mindset and a genuine passion for renewable energy, including:\nOwnership and reliability - taking full responsibility for the algorithms and trades to drive commercial performance across Ingrid’s portfolio.\n\nDiligence and attention to detail - catching the bid or result that doesn’t look right, every time.\n\nAnalytical and structured thinking - spotting patterns in performance data and grounding them in real market behaviour.\n\nCommunication and collaboration - clear handovers between shifts, and generous knowledge-sharing with the algo and quant teams.\n\nAdaptability and agility - comfortable with a shift schedule that includes weekends, and with markets that don’t always behave as expected.\n\nWhy join us?\nAt Ingrid, we're pioneers at the forefront of the global energy transition - pushing boundaries, turning bold ideas into reality, and solving what matters most. Our culture is built on Bold Impact · Curious Grit · Inspiring Collaboration. We believe a thriving organisation runs on trust, growth, and learning from mistakes - and that wellbeing matters as much as work. From lunch & learns to social activities, we make space to connect, recharge, and thrive together.\nNext step\nWe’ll make selections on an ongoing basis and finalize the recruitment as soon as we’ve found the perfect match.\nWe look forward to hearing from you!\n/Team Ingrid","description_format":"text","description_chars":5742,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy Storage","Energy Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T18:11:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.16,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":126,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T20:17:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ingrid-capacity-power-trader","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ingrid-capacity-power-trader.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T20:17:10Z","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":40457,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":679076},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679076"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fingrid-capacity-power-trader"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"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%2Fingrid-capacity-power-trader"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fingrid-capacity-power-trader"},{"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/ingrid-capacity-power-trader\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fingrid-capacity-power-trader"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4272220}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ingridcapacity.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4272220},"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.
