This is an exceptional opportunity to work for our 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.
Any experience with 3rd Party Vendor Software would be great [Bloomberg, Factset, Reuters, Iress, Barra] but perhaps not critical to succeed in this role. 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.
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.
