Descrição da oferta de emprego

We are looking for a hands‑on Quantitative Risk Analyst 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

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
