COMPANY OVERVIEW:
Energy is always evolving. At Hartree Partners, we use our decades of experience in
the physical and financial energy and commodities markets to explore the opportunities this evolution provides. We assist our customers in participating in new markets and navigating their complexities for maximum revenues at minimum risk.

We provide a wide range of services to a substantial and diversified customer base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and individuals. Founded in 1997, the firm is headquartered in New York and maintains offices in many financial centers around the world. Hartree Partners LP is owned by the company’s Managing Partners, senior staff, and Oaktree Capital.

ROLE OVERVIEW:
Hartree Partners is growing its data-driven analytics team and is hiring a Statistical Data Scientist to sharpen our view of weather-driven risk and support wider supply-and-demand modelling for power & gas trading. You will play a pivotal role in shaping our data strategy and driving the development of our modelling approaches. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and optimize data pipelines and predictive models that inform trading decisions and enhance operational efficiency.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Primary Focus:

Probabilistic Weather Modelling:

Research and prototype probabilistic methods (Bayesian inference, state-space filtering, change-detection tests, etc.) that flag when fresh weather guidance materially diverges from prior outlooks.
Continuous Development and Improvement:

Calibrate confidence metrics with historical data and measure their value to trading & risk learning models. Continuously improve these models based on real-time data and feedback from trading activities.
Model Communication:

Explain uncertainty clearly, turning numbers into concise narratives and action-oriented alerts

Broader Contributions:

Build and refine statistical / ML models for short- to medium-term demand, renewables output, and other fundamental time series.
Help design feature pipelines, scenario tools and model-performance dashboards used daily by traders and analysts.
Pitch in on ad-hoc analytics projects—anything from volatility clustering studies to optimisation of storage dispatch—whenever the desk needs statistical horsepower.

REQUIREMENTS:
Minimum of a degree in Statistics, Applied Maths, Physics or related field.
Minimum of 2 years working in a Data Science related role
Proven depth in probability & inference (e.g., Bayesian updating, time-series/state-space models, extreme-value theory).
Hands-on Python for numerical analysis (numpy, pandas, xarray, SciPy/PyMC/PyTorch, or similar).
Experience validating models with historical data and communicating results to non-specialists.
Exposure to real-time data engineering (Kafka, Airflow, dbt)
Track record turning research code into production services (CI/CD, containers etc)
Strong SQL and data-management skills; experience querying large analytical databases (Snowflake highly desirable, but Redshift/BigQuery/ClickHouse etc. also welcome).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Meteorological understanding / experience with weather modelling
Prior knowledge or experience in the power markets or energy sector.
Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and MLOps practices.
Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:
Competitive salary + bonus.
Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, pension plan.
Hybrid working arrangement (minimum 3 days in the London office)

Machine Learning Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Frameworks & Platforms to Learn Now

Machine learning is no longer confined to academic research—it's embedded in how UK companies detect fraud, recommend content, automate processes & forecast risk. But with model complexity rising and LLMs transforming workflows, employers are demanding new skills from machine learning professionals. Welcome to the Machine Learning Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the top languages, frameworks, platforms & tools shaping machine learning roles in the UK. Whether you're an aspiring ML engineer or a mid-career data scientist, this radar shows what to learn now to stay job-ready in 2026.

How to Find Hidden Machine Learning Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, Turing Society & More

Machine learning (ML) continues to transform sectors across the UK—from fintech and retail to healthtech and autonomous systems. But while the demand for ML engineers, researchers, and applied scientists is growing, many of the best opportunities are never posted on traditional job boards. So, where do you find them? The answer lies in professional bodies, academic-industry networks, and tight-knit ML communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to uncover hidden machine learning jobs in the UK by engaging with groups like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), Turing Society, Alan Turing Institute, and others. We’ll explore how to use member directories, CPD events, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and community projects to build connections, gain early access to job leads, and raise your professional profile in the ML ecosystem.

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.
