Quantitative Developer - Python / Java

Quantitative Developer :

A Quantitative Developer, often called a "Quant Dev," is a highly specialized professional who works at the intersection of finance, mathematics, and computer science.

This role involves designing, implementing, and optimizing algorithms and software solutions for complex financial problems, such as trading strategies, risk management, and pricing models.

A successful Quant Dev combines deep programming expertise with a strong grasp of quantitative finance Responsibilities :

• Develop, implement, and maintain complex quantitative models and algorithms for high-frequency trading, risk management, or portfolio optimization.
• Write high-performance, low-latency code in languages like C++ or Java to ensure real-time system efficiency.
• Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers, traders, and other stakeholders to translate mathematical models into production-level code.
• Design and build data pipelines for efficient data acquisition, cleaning, and processing from various financial market sources.
• Conduct thorough backtesting and validation of models to ensure accuracy and reliability under various market conditions.
• Optimize and refactor existing codebases to improve performance, scalability, and security.
• Utilize statistical analysis and machine learning techniques to extract actionable insights from large datasets.
• Participate in code reviews, system design discussions, and contribute to the team's knowledge Skills & Qualifications :
• Master's or Ph.D. in a highly quantitative field such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or Financial Engineering.
• Exceptional programming skills in a high-performance language, preferably C++ or Java.
• Proficiency in Python for prototyping and data analysis is also essential.
• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and computational complexity.
• In-depth knowledge of financial markets, instruments (derivatives, equities, etc.), and quantitative finance concepts.
• Experience with multi-threaded programming and low-latency systems.
• Familiarity with statistical analysis, machine learning techniques, and relevant libraries (e.g., NumPy, pandas).
• Experience with large datasets and database systems (SQL, NoSQL).
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and the capacity to work in a fast-paced, demanding environment.
• Strong communication skills to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
