Software Engineer
About Us
Engelhart was founded in 2013 by BTG Pactual Group as a commodities trading company. Our business model is “asset light” and highly diversified—giving us the ability to adapt effectively and nimbly to changing market conditions.

In 2024, Engelhart acquired Trailstone, a global energy trading and technology company. This acquisition brought new expertise, analytics, and proprietary technology, enhancing our risk management and optimisation services to maximise the value of our clients’ renewable power. It also expanded our capabilities into physical natural gas trading across North America—a critical fuel to support the energy transition.
Our talented individuals operate according to four core principles:
- Performance
- Agility
- Collaboration
- Entrepreneurship
