Centrica

Quantitative Algorithm Developer

Aalborg

FULL TIME

October 21, 2024

We are Centrica! We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising a cleaner, greener future. Working here is #More Than ACareer - we’re powered by purpose. Together we can make an impact that will truly change tomorrow. Whether you’re developing cutting-edge green tech, helping customers on the front line or simplifying operations behind the scenes.

Your work here isn’t just a job – it’s a mission. We all play a vital role in energising a greener, fairer future.

If you enjoy a business facing working environment and seeing your ideas go from a first spark to a working algorithm in a matter of weeks, you might be the Algorithm Developer we are looking for to join us in the Algorithmic Trading team.

The role

Your role as Algorithm Developer will challenge your technical abilities, working across all aspects of algorithmic trading; researching and implementing trading models and strategies with Algorithm Researchers, maintaining and developing our algorithmic trading framework, and bringing trading algorithms to the markets.

On an average workday, your principal responsibilities will include:

Development, testing and validation of trading strategies

Actively engaging in the creative process around inventing algo trading concepts

Development and maintenance of our bespoke algorithmic trading platform

Supporting the entire process flow from research to live trading

Development of internal tools, data capture and data storage

With other developers, Algorithm Researchers and traders, you will eventually be responsible for monetizing a business area via algo trading, with a clear profit objective, rather than purely customer-based deliveries, allowing you to see end-to-end value generation of your work.

This role is based out of one of our locations in Denmark: Copenhagen or Aalborg.

The team

We are a cross-disciplinary commercial team consisting of top-level people with diverse quantitative backgrounds, such as software engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians and physicists. We share a mission of spearheading research, development, deployment, and operation of trading algorithms intended for energy commodity markets.

If you are curious, inventive, and open-minded, we are certain you will thrive with us, where discussing at a white-board and sharing trading ideas is equally important to your skills as a first-class code-smith. We work in an open workspace where learning and professional growth are actively encouraged (and required) via participation in e.g. study groups, conferences, sparring, engaging with peers across the entire organization, etc.

Your qualifications

The ideal candidate has at least a few years of relevant experience. The educational background can have many names, but we expect that you have a Master's or Ph D degree in computer science, software engineering or equivalent.

Furthermore we expect that you:

Are familiar with object-oriented programming and C# .NET

Are talented and passionate about software development

Keep updated about technologies and methods

Are driven, commercially minded and collaborative

Have good communication skills in English

It will be an advantage if you have

Quantitative math/data-science/statistics skills and/or degree

Basic knowledge of trading, including order types, and market microstructure

Experience with large amounts of data in databases of various types

Experience from a message bus architecture/streaming data

Scripting languages and machine learning ie. R and Python ecosystems, Keras, Tensor Flow

About Centrica Energy

We’re a profitable company that understands the necessity of investment to achieve improvement. If you’ve got the willingness, ambitions, and right attitude we offer a work environment that will help you grow on a professional as well as personal level.

Energy markets are increasingly dominated by an ambitious decarbonization agenda, and so are we. Leveraging our in-house talent and specialists, extensive market expertise, technical capabilities, and the strong balance sheet of Centrica plc, we’re focused on delivering on the net-zero agenda as a vital enabler of our future growth. Our ambition is to become Europe’s No. 1 renewable energy trader and a globally important player, and we’re delivering on an ambitious corporate- and commercial strategy to make those ambitions a reality. Our work culture is flexible, entrepreneurial, and collaborative, marked by a high pace and equally high ambitions, but also emphasizing social engagement and having fun.
