Power Markets Analyst

🏆 What You’ll Achieve

• Define and execute the methodology for new market-informed interconnection study products that extend our existing power flow analysis into congestion, curtailment, and dispatch economics
• Build and own the market data infrastructure — onboard vendor data, build pipelines for constraint binding histories, LMP decomposition, and outage records, and maintain datasets across target ISO markets
• Connect transmission planning results to market outcomes by mapping power flow violations and shift factors to real-world constraint binding patterns and congestion pricing
• Configure, run, and validate production cost models to simulate nodal market outcomes across PJM, ERCOT, MISO, and other target markets
• Work directly with product, power engineers, and software engineers to translate domain expertise into automated, repeatable analysis
• Act as the internal authority on how ISO markets clear and how market data should inform our interconnection products

📈 Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in power market analytics, nodal modeling, congestion analysis, or production cost modeling at an ISO/RTO, utility, IPP, developer, trading firm, or consultancy.
• Hands-on experience configuring and running production cost models (PROBE, PLEXOS, PROMOD, Aurora, DAYZER, or similar). You have built and debugged models, not only interpreted outputs.
• Strong understanding of ISO/RTO market mechanics: LMP formation, SCUC/SCED, constraint binding, shadow prices, shift factors, flowgate definitions.
• Experience working with large market datasets — historical LMPs, binding constraint records, transmission outage data — and applying them to congestion or curtailment analysis.
• Proficiency in Python, SQL, or equivalent tools for data processing and analysis.

✨ About You

• You are excited to lay the foundation for power market analyses and AI.
• Have strong analytical fundamentals and a deep understanding of how nodal markets work, and are looking for a role where that expertise gets applied to building products — not repeating the same deliverable on a different timeline.
• Are comfortable working at the boundary of transmission planning and market analytics, and can communicate effectively with engineers on both sides.
• See AI as an opportunity to automate the repetitive parts of market analysis so you can focus on the methodology and the edge cases that really matter.
• Default to action, curiosity, and building smarter workflows.
• Want your analysis to become infrastructure that scales, not a report that gets filed.
• Deep familiarity with multiple ISOs.

🚀 Bonus Points

• Experience analyzing curtailment risk, basis risk, or congestion exposure for BESS, solar, or large load (datacenter) projects.
• Familiarity with PowerGEM tools (TARA, PROBE) or Yes Energy data products.
• Involvement in FERC proceedings, RTO stakeholder processes, or interconnection policy work.

💰 Compensation and Benefits

• $120,000 - $160,000 annual compensation
• Competitive equity compensation
• 401(k) match
• Health, dental and vision insurance
• Paid company holidays & PTO
• Hybrid work in the office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn ~3x per week
