Description
A bit about Field
Field is an international builder, owner, operator, of renewable infrastructure. Our Founder and CEO is a successful entrepreneur who previously co-founded a green energy supplier. We have robust pipelines of BESS projects across the UK, Italy, Spain, and Germany - and strong financial backing. Our most recent fundraise was a £200 million investment from DIF Capital Partners. This will support our mission to grow internationally, and ultimately to build and develop a robust global BESS portfolio.
We are an eclectic team with varied backgrounds. Our team has experience scaling billion dollar tech start-ups and building energy companies, as well as deep specialisms in the energy markets. You will learn from and work with a bunch of fun, curious, and entrepreneurial people who really want to make an impact. Together, we will show that batteries are a totally viable part of our energy infrastructure - now, not in some distant future. We have ambitious plans to become the defining new clean energy player in Europe over the next few years, gradually expanding beyond batteries into new asset types.
Overview
At Field, we are developing our automated energy trading platform, Gaia, and 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 part of a small, fast moving team of certified power traders, wearing multiple hats, and you will have a tangible impact shaping how we increase revenue. You will be working with people across the organisation: platform engineers, data scientists, the executive team, commercial operations, and more.
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. You will therefore need to be flexible with regard to working hours and be in a position to participate in an on-call rotation as part of a small team.
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.
Key Responsibilities
This is a broad and varied role with the opportunity to have massive impact. As part of the team, you will:
- Develop algorithms to trade, forecast and co-optimise revenues across multiple markets
- Be part of the team that manages live trading backed by physical assets, and provide 24/7 support
- Deploy and maintain real-time, mission-critical software
- Develop the ability to inform and/or override algorithmic decisions in volatile market conditions
- Present trading results to senior management
- Identify gaps in our trading strategy from backtests and competitor analysis, and improve and iterate on our trading strategies
- Drive the development of the product roadmap
