Market Analyst

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Market analysts own Base’s point of view on the energy markets and products we participate in — both wholesale markets like ERCOT and PJM and novel distribution channels like TDU-leased energy storage. You’ll build and maintain the models that identify where value exists for Base’s fleet, and you’ll be the one who has to defend that opinion before Base commits capital or signs a deal. This role sits closer to broad market analysis than day-to-day trading. The best candidates combine rigorous data science with real fluency in how wholesale energy markets work, and can turn that analysis into clear, well-vetted recommendations for the rest of the company.

Requirements

• Fluency in data science and data visualization — you choose the right analytical approach for categorical versus continuous data, and turn complex network behavior into charts that drive clear business decisions
• Comfort with modern operational tools like SQL and Grafana for fleet telemetry analysis
• Deep understanding of wholesale energy market operations (e.g., ERCOT), including real-time arbitrage, ancillary services, and grid-service control loops
• Working knowledge of unit commitment, economic dispatch, and production cost modeling

Nice To Haves

• experience deploying machine learning models to production
• deep fluency in Python and pandas
• depth in a statistical subfield like extreme value theory or stochastic processes
• commercial instincts — you understand how energy engineering maps to economic reality (for example, how ITC and PTC support renewables) and can form views that hold up when they’re used to underwrite real decisions

Responsibilities

• Model coincident peak (CP) timing and how it evolves year-over-year in markets like PJM and ERCOT, and benchmark results against commercially available forecasts
• Model the impact of CP reform in ERCOT and what it means for how Base needs to reshape its book
• Compile polished reports on operational performance for internal teams and external stakeholders, including presentations at ISOs
• Determine when and where Base should deploy a 4-hour battery solution, and where the absence of solar leaves us blocked
• Maintain a tested, heavily vetted opinion on any energy market or product Base is considering selling into
