About the role

SmartestEnergy in Houston is seeking a Trader (ERCOT) to manage hedging and risk for the retail business while pursuing profit targets. Reporting to the Head of Trading, you will execute power and gas strategies within risk limits and contribute to market-facing analytics. You should have 3–5 years in U.S. energy markets, especially ERCOT, and be highly numerate with strong judgment under pressure. This role offers a hybrid Houston office arrangement with three days in the office.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
