The role

We're looking for a Power Markets Analyst to join Tyba's Commercial Operations team. This is a specialized role for someone who has spent years deep inside one or more organized electricity markets — and wants to put that expertise to work at the analytics layer of a fast-growing storage optimization platform on behalf of our customers.

You'll own market analytics for designated ISO market(s) — producing internal and external market insights for commercial teams and partnering with engineering to drive optimization improvements. The right candidate has the instincts of an energy trader: you can read a settlement statement, diagnose a dispatch decision, and know what the market was doing and why. You've likely worked at a utility, IPP, trading firm, or ISO, and you're ready to apply that depth in a fast-paced role where your analysis directly shapes how real assets perform in real time.

Primary market focus: MISO, CAISO, NYISO, PJM, and SPP. Deep experience in one of these markets is required; breadth across multiple is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Own commercial analytics for your designated ISO market(s) — serve as the internal subject matter expert on market strategy and pricing dynamics.

• Partner with the engineering team to identify and prioritize performance improvement opportunities on a per-ISO basis; translate market insights into actionable product and model guidance.

• Produce weekly, monthly, and quarterly market intelligence for internal stakeholders and external customers — including performance recaps, market condition reports, and strategic commentary.

• Prototype internal tooling and monitoring infrastructure (e.g., risk outlooks, real-time market monitors, congestion).

• Collaborate with our policy team to navigate regulatory and market design changes in your ISO(s).

Required Skills

• 5+ years of experience in wholesale power markets, with hands-on exposure to market operations, energy trading, storage dispatch, or market analytics at an IPP, utility, trading firm, ISO/RTO, or energy software company.

• Deep knowledge of at least one organized electricity market — MISO, SPP, CAISO, NYISO, PJM— including market structure, bidding rules, settlement mechanics, and storage-specific participation requirements.

• Comfort working with large time series datasets and settlement data; proficiency in Python, SQL, or equivalent analytical tooling is strongly preferred. Experience building analytics tools from scratch is a plus.

• Ability to translate complex market dynamics into clear, data-backed narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences. While we don’t expect this role to own customer relationships, this role will be customer-facing.

• Self-directed and analytically rigorous — you set your own research agenda, find the signal in noisy data, and know how to communicate what matters.

Compensation and benefits

• Salary: $135K - $170K, depending on experience and qualifications.

• Benefits: Parental leave, medical benefits, unlimited PTO.

• Equity Options: Opportunity to own a stake in the company through an employee stock option plan.

• Flexible Work Environment: Hybrid work model, remote work options, and team offsites.
