About the Role:
This is an exceptional opportunity to work for the Trading Desk Quant Team. The ideal profile for this role would be an applicant with a strong systems background and well-developed programming experience ideally in Python, R, SQL or .NET, C++ or C#.
We have found that a strong background in Python is often important to succeed in this role, and prior experience with Power BI is also very useful ideally within an investment banking, market making, or financial markets trading environment.
You don't necessarily need a strong investment background to succeed in this role, but a strong technical quant developer background, probably within financial services, global markets, or asset management is required.
You will be working closely with internal trading teams, alongside the Investment Technology team, and you could describe this function as the conduit between the technology and the trading teams seeking technical quant analytics support.
The ideal candidate will be a highly quantitative individual with demonstrated development experience in Python, C++ or C#, alongside SQL and 3rd party financial software vendor experience.
