What the job involves
- The Core Services team provides the backbone for Dexter’s platform, powering both customer-facing APIs and internal integrations. The services we build enable reliable data flow across all products and connect our systems to Dexter’s data warehouse

- Design, implement, and maintain high-performance backend services (APIs, internal endpoints, and the timeseries-service)

- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, data, and other engineering teams to deliver cohesive solutions

- AI products at its core: Work on algorithmic bidding strategies and optimization problems to tackle real-world challenges
- Engineering ownership: Shape the architecture, address tech debt, and create solutions that directly impact trading results

- Learning opportunities: Gain hands-on experience at the intersection of AI, trading, and renewable energy
Our take
Dexter provides highly accurate energy forecasts to renewable energy producers. Its algorithm analyses current and historic weather data to determine how much electricity windmills and solar panels will generate on a given day. This enables energy companies to reduce imbalances on the grid by determining energy loads, helping companies to optimise their renewable electricity production and consumption.
As the energy market continues to shift, large-scale providers must be able to anticipate changing weather and market conditions. Since the company’s AI-powered software enables companies to manage increasing imbalance costs, Dexter has considerable growth potential as it expands its services across Europe and into the UK.
