System Specialist – Market Integration 

Nord Pool Group is looking for a curious, hands-on System Specialist to join our Market Integration Development team, enabling the expansion of European electricity markets into new areas. 

Would you like to work at the very core of European power market development? 

In this role, you will help build, configure, test, and evolve the systems that make cross-border electricity trading and market coupling possible across Europe. You will work where energy market design meets complex, business-critical IT systems. 

You will join a highly international and collaborative environment, working with colleagues from many different countries as well as external partners such as market operators and transmission system operators across Europe. Together, you contribute to projects that shape how European electricity markets function and evolve. 

What you will do 

As part of an agile Scrum team, you will work hands-on with configuring, implementing, testing, and improving Nord Pool’s Market Coupling Systems. 

You will: 

• Enhance and implement new functionality in market coupling systems  

• Configure and test market integration solutions  

• Play a key role in quality assurance and system validation  

• Work with system behaviour, interfaces, and data flows  

• Collaborate closely with other teams to ensure smooth and timely deliveries  

• Support the continuous development of business-critical systems connecting European electricity markets  

You are not afraid to explore and understand how systems work under the hood. 

Who are you? 

You are a curious and structured problem-solver who enjoys understanding how complex systems, processes, and markets interact. 

You likely have (or are close to completing) a Master’s degree in Energy Systems, Energy Economics, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Physics, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field. 

You are motivated by both electricity markets and technology, and you want to build a strong understanding of how real-world market systems operate in practice. 

You also bring: 

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills  

• A structured and proactive way of working  

• Good communication skills  

• Excellent English skills  

• Curiosity and willingness to learn  

Experience that would be valuable 

You may already have experience in some of the following areas—or you are eager to learn: 

Energy Markets 

• Electricity and energy markets  

• Trading, clearing or market operation platforms  

Systems and Integrations 

• API integrations (JSON, XML)  

• Data flows and system interfaces  

Technology and Quality 

• Software testing and quality assurance  

• Programming or scripting (e.g. Python, SQL, C#)  

• Agile ways of working  

What you will learn 

You will gain a strong understanding of how European electricity markets work from multiple perspectives—market design, operations, and the IT systems that enable cross-border trading and market coupling. 

You will work at the core of a highly dynamic and evolving domain, where systems must perform reliably in real time and across multiple countries. 

Why join Nord Pool? 

Nord Pool offers a unique opportunity to work in a truly international environment, both internally and through collaboration with organisations across Europe. You will join a flat and collaborative organisation where knowledge sharing, responsibility, and teamwork are central. 

If you are looking for a role that combines energy markets, complex systems, and real-world impact—this is a place where you can grow quickly and build deep expertise.
