Basic Required Qualifications:

• Undergraduate degree in quantitative discipline (Mathematics, Physics, Engineering).
• Proficiency and experience in Java, C++ or other object-oriented programming language; Python experience also an asset.
• 3-5 years experience working in financial engineering.
• Passionate interest in theoretical and practical aspects of financial engineering, particularly in relation to financial derivatives.
• Open communicator and team player who values diverse skills and approaches to questions and can communicate the essence of technical concepts to non-technical people.
