Technical role focused on market analysis and expansion in French electricity flexibility markets.

О компании

At Axle Energy, we’re building the infrastructure that will underpin the decarbonised energy system. Our software moves energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green, by controlling vehicle charging, heating systems, inverters and home batteries. We control hundreds of thousands of energy assets.
We’re building in a legacy industry and moving gigawatt-hours of electrons in the real world, but we operate at lightning speed, and we’re growing the team to meet customer demand.
We’re proud to be supported by world-leading investors, including Energize Capital and Accel. Read more about what we’re building here .
France is one of the most important flexibility markets in Europe. This role is critical to accelerating Axle’s growth in France.

Axle has quickly become the leader in our operational markets, and we’re now looking to expand our reach in France.
At the core of our market expansion plans is market analysis. To maximise future revenue, we spend a lot of time understanding the value of flexibility in power markets around the world.
We are looking for a technical individual (data scientist, analyst or engineer) with strong knowledge of the French electricity markets and an instinct for commercial value.
You will become Axle’s internal expert on French power markets: understanding the market rules, modelling the value, and building relationships with system operators and regulators. We’re scrappy about method and rigorous about conclusions.
You will speak fluent French and English. Other European languages will also be an asset.
Developing a deep understanding of French energy markets and grid dynamics to understand how trading, compensation, penalties and cash flow work
Jumping on the phone with grid operators, regulators and market stakeholders to validate hypotheses and make sense of data
Building and optimising models of wholesale/NEBCO, capacity, balancing, ancillary services and local flexibility markets in France to forecast what different assets can earn
Sizing the revenue opportunity across markets and products to shape where we expand next
Building and evaluating different strategies for cycling a battery or load-shifting an EV charger
Monitoring and shaping energy regulation to accelerate the growth of flexibility.
This is an opportunity to gain unique domain expertise and build the quantitative case for first-of-a-kind projects across the world.
