Our Culture

We are committed to meet the energy needs of a growing population and we are committed to the energy transition. The volatility of the energy trading markets requires excellence in risk management and a culture of innovation. We are fully embracing the digital revolution.
Our people flourish in an environment that promotes expertise, entrepreneurship spirit, agility and a purpose-driven culture, generating boundless opportunities to learn, grow and achieve collaborative success.
Reinforcing the competencies of our people is a key pillar of our culture: we train our people to ensure their development and we pledge to encourage safety in all our actions.
We look for passion, ambition and open-mindedness. While we evolve in a demanding industry that requests to be always on the edge, we cultivate a friendly workplace where our people feel good, where team spirit and respect guide our daily routine, where the diversity of our people and their skills create a nourishing experience for all of us.

What you will do

You will be part of the FIT team, a team of 7 members with a front status, sitting on the trading floor. The FIT team is responsible for the derivatives pricing library and all its related tools. It is the entry point for all trading desks, whether they are physical or paper, regarding risk management or new digital tools.
The tools provided by the team cover a large range of business-oriented problems (paper trading, exchange markets, pricing methodologies, proxies on illiquid products, physical optionalities, supply & demand, blending, shipping, …) and technical solutions (Excel & VBA, Python, C++, Web-based in React / Django).
The trading floor is a high pace, challenging environment, requiring agility, sharpness and rigour. Good communication, teamwork, multi-tasking are also essential skills.
Depending on your appetite, the internship will be one of the following topics:
  • Work on a model enabling us to evaluate live world demand of fuel oil for boats (bunker fuel) based on satellite data. By combining data from the technical shipping teams, providing the fuel consumption of various boats, and data providers, giving the positioning of most ships. You will build a model enabling us to better anticipate live world bunker demand.
  • Implementation of a tool enabling the optimisation of our storage facilities. This visual tool will be linked to our internal system and to the storage sensors for live coverage. It must enable us to anticipate future storage movements and help us optimise storage blending.
  • Research statistical arbitrage opportunities on commodities together with traders. These strategies range from the impact of pipeline pressure or weather forecasts on gasoil prices to mean reverting strategies on custom strategies. The intern will also be expected to maintain our existing algorithmic tool and to enhance our backtesting tool.
The internship also comprises several day-to-day tasks:
  • Elaborate and price structures meeting the clients’ needs and analyse along with the trading floor the model risks associated with these structures.
  • Provide technical and modelling support to the trading floor.
  • Take part in the team’s daily work (studies, bug fixes)

Candidate profile

  • You are enrolled in your last year of a quantitative Master (Mathematics, Physics, Data Engineering or Quantitative Finance)
  • Coding being at the heart of our job, you have good programming skills (object oriented)
    • Python: a minimum.
    • VBA: a plus.
    • C++: a plus.
    • React: a plus.
    • Django: a plus.
  • Having sound knowledge of financial mathematics, probability theory and stochastic calculus would be seen as an advantage
  • Knowledge of continuous integration tools such as Git, TFS, Docker, and Swarm/Kubernetes would be seen as an advantage
  • Experience in the implementation of large IT projects would be a plus.
  • Good knowledge in time series analysis, machine learning, statistical models and data science would be a plus.
  • Previous experience on a trading floor or in the commodities market would be a plus but for sure curiosity and interest for our industry is essential

  • You know how to work in an evolving environment where pressure and urgency are daily occurrences.
