Description
At Field, we’re accelerating the build out of renewable energy infrastructure to reach net zero. We are starting with battery storage, storing up energy for when it’s needed most to create a more reliable, flexible and greener grid. At Field, we will show that batteries are a valuable part of our energy infrastructure - now, not in some distant future.
We have ambitious plans to become Europe’s defining clean energy player over the next few years, expanding beyond batteries into new asset types.
Overview
At Field, we are developing our automated energy trading platform, Gaia. Before the end of this year we will deploy Gaia to trade in real-time for our physical assets in the UK power markets.

You will be working with people across the organisation: platform engineers, data scientists, the executive team, commercial operations, and more.
This is an operational role and the candidate will need to be flexible regarding their working hours, and be in a position to participate in an on-call rotation as part of a small team. The market is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and you will be one of the key responders for any aspect of trading that requires humans in the loop, such as responding to unplanned or emergency scenarios.
This is an exciting time to join Field, right at the core of the business. In the next few years our team’s responsibility will expand rapidly as we deploy Gaia for dozens of assets in the UK and across Europe.
