Market Analyst, Modeling (CAISO / SPP)

Reports to: US Modeling LeadTeam: ModelingRegions: Western Interconnection - CAISO / SPP

About the role

Modo Energy's models tell clients where to build assets, how they will operate, and what they are worth. This role builds them.

The work spans capacity expansion, dispatch and price models, all running inside the Modo Energy platform. You will own a piece of it: a market, a model, or a part of the stack, and take it from a question about how the market behaves through to code that runs in production.

What you will do

Build models. Write and maintain the dispatch, price and capacity expansion models for the markets you cover.

Learn your markets. Know how your ISOs clear energy and ancillary services, and what changed last month.

Test your own work. Backtest against market outturn, find where the model is wrong, and fix it.

Explain the results. Show colleagues and clients why the model produced the number it produced.

Work with other teams:

Research - take their read on what is changing in the market and build it into what you model.

Engineering - tell them what the modeling stack needs. You are the user of what they build.

Revenue - join technical sales and post-sales calls when clients want to understand the method.

What you need

Degree in engineering, maths, physics, economics, or a related field

2+ years in power market modeling, analytics, or a quantitative role in energy

You write Python that other people can run, and you work in git

You can write and debug an optimization problem — unit commitment, dispatch, or similar

You know how at least one US power market clears energy and ancillary services

You can take a vague question about market behavior and turn it into something you can model

You say when a result looks wrong rather than shipping it

Nice to have

Experience with battery storage dispatch or revenue modeling

Experience with an optimization library such as Linopy, Pyomo or PuLP

Experience with nodal pricing, PTDFs, or transmission-constrained dispatch

Experience working with large time series datasets in SQL
