Athena is designed as a modular platform of interconnected systems, serving as a comprehensive compute, data, and integration solution.

Our goal is to develop a best-in-class portfolio management platform that not only drives our current success but also scales with our business as it evolves.

With an emphasis on how to leverage technology to optimize portfolio management tools, you will have a unique learning opportunity and sit in the cross section of energy trading and software development. You can expect to be given responsibility to drive features to completion, be a part of planning and development and work closely with our internal customers to understand their needs and ways of working.
