Are you enthusiastic about intelligent and effective software solutions to the energy transition? Join us at suena energy as (Senior) Power Trader (f/m/x) and experience a role that offers much more than “just” trading: You'll combine market strategy, hands-on execution, and direct PnL responsibility across European power markets—using cutting-edge tools and shaping the processes yourself.
suena energy is a green tech startup specializing in algorithmic energy trading for energy storage systems and renewable energies.
Our vision: a world where clean energy is used reliably, economically, and intelligently. With our AI-based optimization and trading software, we maximize the revenues of operators of large-scale energy storage and renewable assets on short-term electricity and balancing markets - while simultaneously minimizing their risks.

- High speed, zero bureaucracy: Make decisions and see your impact - no corporate red tape, just agile execution.
