Senior Quantitative Developer - European Gas Fundamentals

Join us in this role where you’ll help design and develop our new European gas supply–demand modelling capability, supporting short- and medium-term trading and portfolio decisions.  You’ll combine strong Python development skills with quantitative modelling and market analysis, working closely with experienced energy market specialists and traders. This is an opportunity to shape the technical foundations of an important new modelling capability and see your work directly influence commercial decisions.  

Welcome to Forecasting & Market Analysis  
You’ll join a collaborative team of quantitative developers and market analysts developing fundamental models, forecasts, and analytical tools across European gas and power markets.   

You’ll play a central role in building our European gas modelling capabilities, working alongside colleagues with complementary expertise in energy fundamentals, quantitative modelling, and software development. 

As a team, we collaborate across disciplines, share knowledge, and continuously improve how we model and understand energy markets.  

  

You’ll play an important role in:  

  • co-developing and enhancing our new European gas supply–demand model, supporting gas trading, market analysis, and portfolio management. 
  • designing scalable, reliable Python-based models and contributing to their architecture, implementation, and continuous improvement. 
  • modelling fundamental gas market drivers, including pipeline supplies, LNG imports, storage dynamics, consumption, infrastructure constraints, and cross-border flows. 
  • developing quantitative methodologies to analyse market balances, assess scenarios, and understand short- and medium-term market developments. 
  • integrating and processing diverse market datasets, ensuring data quality, transparency, and reliable model outputs. 
  • improving model performance, automation, testing, documentation, and deployment through modern software engineering practices. 
  • collaborating closely with gas analysts, traders, and other developers to turn complex market questions into practical modelling solutions.  

To succeed in the role, you:  

  • have strong experience in Python development, quantitative modelling, software engineering, or a related field. 
  • can design and build scalable, maintainable, well-tested quantitative applications and data processing pipelines. 
  • have a solid understanding of numerical methods, data analysis, time series, or statistical modelling. 
  • are comfortable working with SQL, version control, automated testing, and collaborative development practices. 
  • enjoy translating complex real-world problems into robust, practical models. 
  • are intellectually curious about energy markets and motivated to understand the fundamental drivers behind market behaviour. 
  • communicate effectively and enjoy collaborating with people from different technical and commercial backgrounds. 

It would be an advantage if you also bring: 

  • experience with European natural gas, LNG, power, or other commodity markets. 
  • previous experience developing supply–demand, fundamental, forecasting, or scenario models. 
  • familiarity with European gas market datasets, infrastructure, and price formation. 

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
