** Shell Energy Europe is looking to hire a data scientist to support the Power Fundamentals team in building and product ionising time series forecasting and optimisation models (stochastic optimisation, dynamic programming, LP/MILP models, etc). This person will have an enthusiasm to learn the inner working of the power market by working in close collaboration with domain experts. They must be able to understand the fundamentals of the power market and translate this into a mathematical model.

This requires taking a pragmatic approach to model development, starting with a simple model, and iteratively adding complexity – driven by adding business value in a high-pace environment. This person must be a strong programmer, who is confident in product ionising models in the cloud (Azure/AWS) and is comfortable in designing and implementing data ingestion and model deployment pipelines.

Responsibilities:
* Prepare, process, clean and visualize various kind of power, gas, and weather data sets to establish a basis of further analysis.
* Develop, analyse, and conduct different approaches to forecasts different variables (Demand, wind, solar, prices).
