About The Position

Verse is seeking a Quantitative Analyst to join our Data Science Team. In this position, you will own research projects end-to-end from problem formulation through model development to production integration. Your work feeds directly into Aria and into decisions our customers make about how to procure, dispatch, and hedge their energy assets. For example, you might spend a cycle backtesting financial performance of renewable energy projects, encoding bespoke energy contract terms into reusable and scaled models, or developing a probabilistic model for medium-term energy price scenarios.

Requirements

• Master's degree in a quantitative field (engineering, computer science, economics, mathematics, operations research, physics, or similar); or Bachelor’s degree and 2+ years of energy sector experience
• Solid foundations in machine learning and statistical modeling
• Proficiency in Python, including scientific computing libraries (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn)
• Familiarity with wholesale electricity market fundamentals and renewable energy technologies
• Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience with US or European wholesale electricity markets or utility tariff structures
• Experience with energy procurement, power purchase agreements, or risk management
• Experience modeling the operational and/or economic behavior of solar, wind, or energy storage
• Foundational knowledge of mathematical optimization
• Experience shipping models to production in a commercial or research environment
• Experience developing probabilistic forecasting models and quantifying uncertainty
• A PhD in a relevant quantitative field.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve models for renewable generation, storage dispatch, and energy price prediction using machine learning, statistical methods, and optimization techniques.
• Scope problems with product, engineering and customer teams, design solutions, validate results against industry benchmarks, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Integrate research outputs into Verse’s cloud-based production environment; write clean, well-documented Python code and leverage AI coding tools to accelerate development.
• Build foundational knowledge of electricity markets and renewable energy trends; develop an understanding of key drivers (e.g., load growth, market rule changes, and renewable deployment) and learn to incorporate relevant insights into renewable energy PPA modeling and analysis.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity grant at a high-growth start up
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental and vision insurance, and 401k
• Flexible hours and unlimited PTO
• Diverse and inclusive working environment
