• Being people driven we allow members of all levels to actively participate in the running and development of our young firm

What we offer:

Our company is built for and around its people – we try to find individual setups that work for both sides. A sense of ownership for the firm is a central tenet of our overall behaviour. In particular, we offer:

• Challenging projects with leading financial institutions around the globe, where we are at the forefront of innovation in products and methodologies

• Strong academics, i.e. a bachelor’s degree in quantitative studies, e.g. mathematics, industrial engineering, economics, physics, is a must.

• Hands-on experience in risk model development and validation (i.e., beyond audit or review activities for IFRS9 and Basel II). Experience in stress testing (credit, liquidity, ECAP) would be a plus.

• Hands-on experience with coding LLM coding agents, such as Claude or Codex and a deep appreciation of LLM’s technical specifications and be willing to demonstrate the skills during the interviews.

• Experience in programming languages (Python, SAS, R, SQL, etc.) and data structures.

• Good knowledge of local and international regulations in financial services, especially MAS.

• Experience with the following topics will be an advantage: IFRS9 modelling and validation, balance sheet management, IRRBB, and behavioural models.

• Knowledge of and a practical understanding of the various functions of a bank, credit risk, operational risk, compliance, financial planning and reporting.

• Ability to understand, independently structure, and derive innovative solutions for complex topics within short timeframes.

• Ambition to drive and contribute to the growth of the firm. Openness to travel, mainly within ASEAN.

• Strong communication skills. Fluent English – fluency in another South/Southeast Asian language would be a plus.
