You have a strong technical foundation and the drive to apply it in a financial context. You are independent, precise, and not afraid to ask the right questions.

Qualifications:

• You are in the final stage of a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Econometrics, or equivalent
