Power Markets Analyst

In the next 30 years, the world will transform every part of the built environment to be climate positive green infrastructure. But today's renewable energy development process can't move fast enough to meet global goals. Paces exists to change that. We are providing software and services to accelerate power development and unlocking one of the greatest opportunities of our time: transforming how infrastructure gets built and ensuring it's built with renewable energy.

Paces is building the development engine for renewable infrastructure and power projects. Our Agentic AI automates early-stage due diligence and pairs it with in-house expertise to accelerate late-stage diligence. The result: projects move from siting to construction-ready in a fraction of the time. Our platform streamlines siting, interconnection, and permitting for renewable energy and data center developers, real estate firms, EV charging companies, and more.

We are building a team where people can proudly say their time at Paces is the most impactful, meaningful work of their career. Our amazing team in Brooklyn, New York includes incredible team members from tech companies like Meta AI, DeepMind, and Tesla; various high growth startups; as well as industry leaders from TotalEnergies, Con Edison and GE. Paces is growing rapidly and looking for exceptional people to join who want to have a massive positive climate impact while building a great culture!

What You'll Achieve

• Define and execute the methodology for new market-informed interconnection study products that extend our existing power flow analysis into congestion, curtailment, and dispatch economics
• Build and own the market data infrastructure — onboard vendor data, build pipelines for constraint binding histories, LMP decomposition, and outage records, and maintain datasets across target ISO markets
• Connect transmission planning results to market outcomes by mapping power flow violations and shift factors to real-world constraint binding patterns and congestion pricing
• Configure, run, and validate production cost models to simulate nodal market outcomes across PJM, ERCOT, MISO, and other target markets
• Work directly with product, power engineers, and software engineers to translate domain expertise into automated, repeatable analysis
• Act as the internal authority on how ISO markets clear and how market data should inform our interconnection products

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in power market analytics, nodal modeling, congestion analysis, or production cost modeling at an ISO/RTO, utility, IPP, developer, trading firm, or consultancy.
• Hands-on experience configuring and running production cost models (PROBE, PLEXOS, PROMOD, Aurora, DAYZER, or similar). You have built and debugged models, not only interpreted outputs.
• Strong understanding of ISO/RTO market mechanics: LMP formation, SCUC/SCED, constraint binding, shadow prices, shift factors, flowgate definitions.
• Experience working with large market datasets — historical LMPs, binding constraint records, transmission outage data — and applying them to congestion or curtailment analysis.
• Proficiency in Python, SQL, or equivalent tools for data processing and analysis.

About You

• You are excited to lay the foundation for power market analyses and AI.
• Have strong analytical fundamentals and a deep understanding of how nodal markets work, and are looking for a role where that expertise gets applied to building products — not repeating the same deliverable on a different timeline.
• Are comfortable working at the boundary of transmission planning and market analytics, and can communicate effectively with engineers on both sides.
• See AI as an opportunity to automate the repetitive parts of market analysis so you can focus on the methodology and the edge cases that really matter.
• Default to action, curiosity, and building smarter workflows.
• Want your analysis to become infrastructure that scales, not a report that gets filed.
• Deep familiarity with multiple ISOs.

Bonus Points

• Experience analyzing curtailment risk, basis risk, or congestion exposure for BESS, solar, or large load (datacenter) projects.
• Familiarity with PowerGEM tools (TARA, PROBE) or Yes Energy data products.
• Involvement in FERC proceedings, RTO stakeholder processes, or interconnection policy work.

Compensation and Benefits

• $120,000 - $160,000 annual compensation
• Competitive equity compensation
• 401(k) match
• Health, dental and vision insurance
• Paid company holidays & PTO
• Hybrid work in the office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn ~3x per week
