DW Search Ltd.; England; On-site; GBP 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job description

A leading FS firm is looking for a Pricing Quantitative Analyst to join its Front office environment.

This is an opportunity to build the pricing, valuation and risk-management capabilities used directly by interest-rate derivatives traders. You will take quantitative models from concept through to production, developing high-quality algorithms and analytical tools primarily in C++, with additional exposure to Python and Excel.

Working closely with Trading and Sales, you will help launch new products, solve complex pricing challenges and ensure the desk has the analytics required to value transactions and manage portfolio risk effectively.

You will have genuine ownership of your work while collaborating with Model Validation, Market Risk, Product Control and technology teams to integrate models into the firms wider infrastructure and platforms such as Murex.

The role offers an excellent combination of quantitative finance, hands-on engineering and direct trading desk exposure. Rather than operating as a purely theoretical quant, you will see your models deployed and used to support live trading decisions and revenue-generating activity.
