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.

We’re a team of 35 people, combining a warm, supportive team culture with true startup drive. Following our successful Series A, we’re investing in expanding our team – and we’re excited to strengthen our team with new talent and continue growing together.

What sets this seat apart?

• Flexibility: Operations are a true team effort - outside the weekly operations shift (currently office hours, every 3 weeks), you have real flexibility in your schedule. No night shifts.
• Modern trading tools: Work with PowerBoard - the new kid on the block in trading tech - and other advanced tools.
• High speed, zero bureaucracy: Make decisions and see your impact - no corporate red tape, just agile execution.
• Strategy is core to your role: You actively shape, refine, and own trading strategies - contributing to the foundation of our trading setup.

Who you’ll work with:
