Tech Lead – Advanced Analytics

Context & Environment

The Advanced Analytics team is part of the Power & Gas Trading IT department and develops software products that enable advanced quantitative analytics across European and Worldwide energy markets.

Our mission is to build scalable, production-grade applications supporting Traders, Quantitative Analysts and Market Analysts in forecasting, optimization, simulation and data analysis. Working closely with quantitative teams, we transform analytical and machine learning models into robust software products capable of operating reliably in production while remaining flexible for future evolution.

As a Tech Lead, you will provide technical leadership across the Advanced Analytics product landscape. You will combine hands‑on software engineering with architectural thinking, guiding technical decisions, promoting engineering excellence, and partnering with quantitative stakeholders to deliver high-quality analytics platforms.

This is not a people management role. Success in this position comes from technical expertise, influence, mentoring and the ability to drive engineering best practices across multiple initiatives.

As a Tech Lead, your main responsibilities will be to:

• Lead the technical design and implementation of software products supporting forecasting, optimization, simulation and advanced analytics use cases.
• Drive software architecture and technical decisions in collaboration with Solution Architects, ensuring consistency, scalability, security and maintainability across the Advanced Analytics landscape.
• Partner closely with Quantitative Analysts, Traders and business stakeholders to understand, challenge and refine functional and technical requirements.
• Translate quantitative research into reliable, production-ready software solutions while ensuring long‑term maintainability and extensibility.
• Design cloud‑native applications following modern engineering principles and best practices for reliability, observability, security and cost optimization.
• Lead the industrialization of analytical and machine learning models, ensuring reproducibility, scalability, monitoring and operational excellence.
• Contribute to software development, code reviews, technical investigations and complex implementations.
• Promote engineering excellence through coding standards, automated testing, CI/CD, documentation and continuous improvement.
• Mentor and support engineers through technical coaching, architectural guidance and knowledge sharing, without direct line management responsibilities.
• Support production systems, troubleshoot complex technical issues and drive continuous improvement of existing applications.

In addition, the Tech Lead will be expected to:

• Own technical decisions from solution design through production delivery.
• Establish and promote engineering standards across the Advanced Analytics team.
• Balance short‑term delivery objectives with long‑term architectural sustainability.
• Make sound technical decisions in environments with evolving requirements and incomplete information.
• Identify technical risks early and propose pragmatic, scalable solutions.
• Drive adoption of modern software engineering practices and emerging technologies where they provide tangible business value.
• Build credibility with both software engineers and quantitative experts by combining strong engineering capabilities with an understanding of analytical modelling challenges.
• Influence technical direction through collaboration, expertise and leadership rather than formal authority.

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or related technical discipline.

• Minimum 6 years of professional experience in software development,…
