About this role
Habitat Energy is a fast growing technology company focussed on the physical and financial optimisation of energy storage and renewable generation assets globally through complex models and trading. By maximising the returns from these assets we aim to drive investment in renewable energy and accelerate the transition to a low carbon world. Our rapidly growing team of 130+ people in Austin, TX, Oxford, UK, and Melbourne, Australia brings together exceptionally talented and passionate people in the domains of energy trading, data science, software engineering and renewable energy management. We are seeking a highly experienced, commercially driven Senior Power Trader to lead the build-out of our proprietary trading activity in the PJM market, with a focus on virtual strategies. In this role, you will be responsible for owning PJM market entry, strategy development, and PnL generation, while establishing the foundational frameworks required to scale a systematic and repeatable trading operation. You will operate at the intersection of discretionary trading and quantitative strategy development, translating deep market expertise into data-driven, programmatic approaches. This role is suited for an individual who thrives in ambiguous, build-phase environments, and can move through market insight, strategy design, execution, and performance refinement. The role will also play a critical part in shaping how the desk integrates quantitative models, risk frameworks, and automated workflows into its trading approach.
