Responsibilities :
- Build the end-to-end system that takes pricing models from front-office quants, deploys them onto a colossal hybrid grid, and orchestrates the massive-scale calculation of risk P&Ls.
- Engineer a platform that is incredibly powerful, flexible, and efficient, enabling the firm to run complex scenario-based valuations on demand.
- Build the bridge between quantitative research and production-scale execution. The platform you create will directly determine the speed, accuracy, and sophistication of our risk calculations, empowering our business to navigate complex markets with confidence.
- Take Architect and build a next-generation, hybrid-cloud platform for running quantitative pricing calculations at massive scale.
- Design a sophisticated job orchestration and scheduling system that handles dynamic prioritization, efficient task packing, and resource optimization across the grid.
- Engineer a robust, event-driven framework for managing the entire job lifecycle, including handling notifications for job completion and managing the flow of result data from the grid.
- Develop a comprehensive error-handling and resiliency strategy to gracefully manage failures in a large-scale distributed environment.
- Pioneer the development of an intelligent monitoring platform using ML to perform anomaly detection, predict job failures, and optimize grid performance.
- Engineer the secure and efficient data logistics required to move terabytes of market and trade data between on-premise systems and public cloud environments.
- Partner closely with front-office quants to onboard, version, and optimize their C++ and Python pricing models for distributed computation
- 10+ years of professional experience with a proven track record of designing and building applications for massive-scale, high-performance compute (HPC) grids.
- A degree in a highly technical field such as Computer Science or Quantitative Finance.
- Deep domain knowledge in Capital Markets, financial derivatives, and a strong understanding of financial regulations like FRTB.
- Expert-level experience with job scheduling, resource management, and workload optimization techniques (task packing, prioritization) on large-scale grids.
- Deep expertise in building event-driven architectures and handling asynchronous notifications and replies from distributed systems.
- Proven experience designing and building intelligent monitoring tools, ideally leveraging ML for anomaly detection and performance tuning.
- Expert-level experience managing workloads in a hybrid cloud environment, with deep knowledge of at least one major public cloud (AWS, GCP) and on-premise grid technologies.
- Deep expertise in containerization, orchestration, and scheduling technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Strong programming skills in languages common to high-performance and quantitative computing, such as C++ and Python.
- Proven ability to debug complex pricing and model-related issues by partnering directly with quantitative analysts.
- Prior experience in a similar role within the financial industry, specifically working on quantitative pricing platforms, large-scale risk calculations, or XVA grids.
