We are not just building a model library, but an entire engine to run pricing, risk, and other valuation services. This involves significant engineering work.

Experience in software design and implementation will be valuable to our modelers, even if they have less direct experience in quantitative analysis. We need to develop analytics and understand how to orchestrate these systems.

The candidate should have experience developing larger systems rather than just operating well-defined components. While you will write code, you’ll also need to contribute to the design of the larger system, ensuring durability, monitoring, and consistency with the firm’s standards.

You’ll be coding progressively in Python and possibly some C++. It’s important to understand how a pricing function fits within the broader system, focusing on the typical requirements for durability in both components and systems.

We need someone who can provide insight on trade-offs, such as the consequences of specific design choices or whether open-source libraries could be used instead of homegrown solutions.

Expertise in systems software development is essential to ensure high-quality implementation, especially where we lack experience. While we have quants and modelers who implement code, we don’t yet have deep exposure to system-level development.
