About the role

We are a unique combination of a technology company and a trading house. Our mission is to turn data into market-beating trading strategies by using sophisticated mathematical models while helping to balance the power grid.

Our team consists of top-class developers, quant analysts and traders who use their accumulated know-how to create a state-of-the-art platform. No legacy code, no mundane maintenance and outdated technologies, just pure engineering joy of creating a well-designed piece of software.

What would you work on?

  • Continuous improvement of existing predictive models and their adjustment in fast-evolving markets
  • Development of new strategies and their adaptation to new countries and exchanges.
  • Enhancement of our algorithmic trading strategies.
  • Cooperation with other teams including data and DevOps engineers, developers, and traders.
  • Integrating our trading strategies with physical assets.
  • Exploration of new opportunities, ad-hoc analysis, and investigations.

What makes you a great candidate?

  • A degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or a related field; last-year students or recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
  • Ideally experience with ML and statistical modeling.
  • Experience with Python, and its data science toolkit.
  • Fast pragmatic thinking, and open, curious mind.
  • Ability to solve ambiguously defined real-life tasks.
  • Fluency in English.

What do we offer?

  • Brand new office in the city center – Masarycka.
  • Competitive salary package with the possibility of a yearly bonus.
  • 25 days of paid holiday.
  • Flexible working hours and home-office options.
  • High-end workstation.
  • Sponsored lunch in the office. Every workday.
  • Free snacks at the office.
  • Multisport Card – fully paid by the company.
  • Colleagues who are absolute experts in what they do.
