• Familiarity with modern DevOps practices, such as CI/CD pipelines, containerisation (Docker), workflow orchestration (e.g. Airflow, Kubernetes), and cloud platforms (e.g. Azure, Databricks)
• An innovative and curious mindset — exploring AI and new technologies to continuously improve data and software platforms
• Interest in the energy domain and its business context
• Experience in or curiosity about financial markets (e.g. forward curves) is an advantage
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach when working with colleagues and stakeholders
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
