The job as Quantitative Analyst

As a quantitative analyst in MFT, you’ll be  an integral part of our US power trading team, working side by side with traders to navigate one of the world’s most complex and fast-paced energy markets.

You’ll work directly with real-time data to build predictive models, price forecasts, and trading insights that drive decision-making and strategy. Your ideas and input will help shape the way we trade, optimize risk, and develop the team’s edge.

This is a hands-on role with real impact - ideal for someone who’s excited to build, improve, and be part of a collaborative, ambitious setup.

Your key responsibilities:

• Modelling: Build and maintain various models to be used by our trading and risk management teams to support trading strategies.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and is eager to solve complex problems from the ground up with next-level curiosity. Being a successful quantitative analyst in MFT Energy isn’t just about having a strong track record. It’s about bringing your experience and skills into play while staying curious, driven, and open to learning.

Skills we believe are important for success:

• Bachelor degree in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or another quantitative or related field. A Master’s or PhD in a related discipline is a plus.
• Proficiency in Python and a statically typed programming language. 
• Experience designing and maintaining reliable, automated systems. 
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills preferably with strong knowledge of Statistics.  
• Experience in a similar role (1–2 years) would be an advantage.

You should expect technical tests as part of the recruitment process.

Please note: We are not able to sponsor new employment visas for this role. However, we are able to transfer existing U.S. work visas (such as H-1B). Candidates must already be authorized to work in the United States without the need for initial sponsorship.

What we offer  

• A dynamic, entrepreneurial work environment where the best ideas win. 
• Talented and ambitious colleagues who challenge and support you. 
• The chance to take on real ownership as a partner in the company.
• Great employee benefits including 6 weeks of vacation, medical care, dental and vision insurance, and 401(k) - among other perks.
• A democratic and people-first leadership approach. 
• A workplace that gives you energy rather than drains it - though we’ll admit, the first few onboarding months can be intense.
