Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced C++/Python Quantitative Developer to join a high-impact quantitative analytics team focused on Cross Asset XVA and Capital Analytics.

This is a senior technical role combining quantitative modelling, software engineering and financial markets, with responsibility for developing analytics libraries used across pricing and risk management. You will work closely with Traders, Structurers, Quantitative Analysts and technology teams to deliver robust, scalable and production-ready solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain quantitative analytics libraries supporting pricing and risk management.


• Implement and support quantitative models using a combination of mathematical and computer science techniques.


• Develop pricing and valuation models using numerical methods, including Monte Carlo simulations and PDE solvers.


• Build high-quality software using C++ and Python, alongside technologies such as C#/.NET, Java, SQL and kdb.


• Apply object-oriented design principles and strong software engineering practices to quantitative applications.


• Work with market data and develop analytical solutions for complex financial instruments.


• Collaborate closely with Traders, Structurers, Quantitative Analysts and Technology teams.


• Partner with control functions including Market Risk, Credit Risk, Finance, Legal, Compliance and Audit.


• Contribute to appropriate governance, controls and risk-management processes.


• Provide technical expertise and contribute to the wider direction of the quantitative technology function.

Requirements

Essential Experience

• Strong professional experience in a quantitative development, quantitative modelling or analytics role, ideally within financial services.


• Strong Python programming experience.


• Experience with C#/.NET and SQL.


• Strong understanding of software design principles and object-oriented programming.


• Experience working with market data.


• Strong knowledge of statistics and probability.


• Ability to apply probability theory and numerical techniques to complex financial instruments.


• Experience with quantitative methods and mathematical finance.


• Understanding of investments and financial products.


• Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with both technical and business stakeholders.

Nice to have

Desirable Technical Experience
