• Design and implement scalable Python and C++ analytics used across trading, risk, and capital management platforms
• Work on large datasets and complex portfolios to improve modelling accuracy, performance, and efficiency
• Contribute throughout the full model lifecycle, from research and development through to implementation and production support

What We're Looking For

• Experience developing quantitative models and analytics within a financial markets environment
• Strong Python and/or C++ programming skills
• Solid understanding of probability, statistics, numerical methods, and financial modelling
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to explain quantitative concepts to both technical and business stakeholders
