DEPARTMENT Optimisation & Trading Analytical Team The Optimisation and Trading Analytics Team is part of Energy Market Analytics and is in Paris and London. The core purpose of the team (10 people) is the development of complex market forecasting models and asset optimisation tools to support EDF Trading proprietary activity and EDF Group portfolio optimisation. The team efforts are directed towards both the Paris based activity in the short-term electricity markets as well as the longer-term horizon and other commodities traded from London. The team works in proximity with the trading desks and other analyst teams in both locations. POSITION PURPOSE The main objective of the internship is to help enhance an application used by Traders and Analysts to forecast power prices from the next day to the next two weeks.

The intern will work mainly on the frontend (HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Electron, Angular 10 and AngularJS) and when needed on the backend (Python flask api, MongoDB). He or she will have close interactions with the software engineers and analysts of the OTAT team as well as traders to ensure what is delivered is aligned with expectations.
