Description
The Role
We are looking for a hands-on Quantitative Risk Quant who can both design risk models and ship production-quality tools; such as:
- scenario and stress-testing capabilities
- factor based risk decomposition
Your work will directly inform position sizing, hedging and drawdown management across a multi-billion-dollar fixed-income and macro portfolio.
What you’ll do
Working with the Quant Research, Risk Management and Risk Technology teams you will:
- Own the full lifecycle of risk analytics from specification to prototyping to production release
- Manage our data processing and calculations pipelines by leveraging our available technology stack (AWS, Prefect…)
- Drive technical conversations with our Risk Technology team on ingestion and cleanup of risk data
- Build lightweight UIs (Dash or Excel/PyXll) so PMs and Risk Managers can consume your analytics with zero friction
- Document and present model assumptions, limitations and validation results and tests to our stakeholders
What you’ll bring
- A MSc or PhD in a STEM discipline
- 5y+ working in a financial institution preferably in a buy-side risk management context
- Production python (NumPy/Pandas/SciPy) experience with async or reactive pipelines as a plus
- Strong experience working with relational database management systems
- Solid mathematics background, particularly statistics
- Deep knowledge of interest rate derivatives and risk is a must
- Track record of delivering projects from start to finish
- Excellent communication skills both verbal and written
- Great problem solver
What do we offer
- Direct impact: your code hits production daily and drives trading decisions
- Modern tooling: fully cloud-native stack (AWS, Prefect, Coder, Kubernetes), automated CI/CD
- Small, elite team — high autonomy, rapid decision cycles, minimal bureaucracy
