Northpool Junior Software Engineer

At the intraday desk of Northpool we trade mainly short-term power which is power that is used on the same day or the day after it is traded.

In this market it is important to act faster than the competition. We have developed trading software that allows traders to setup a (semi-) automated trading process. This allows them to focus on choosing the best overall strategy given the current market conditions. We are constantly developing our software tools to give traders more and better opportunities to beat the market. Because traders must be able to rely on the correct operation of these tools, the maintenance of the current systems is also of great importance.
