Overview
I’m working with a fintech business that is hiring a Quant Risk Developer into its London quant and technology team.
This role is best suited to someone with around 2–5 years’ experience in quant development, risk technology, analytics engineering or a related technical role. They are looking for someone with a bit more experience here than in the other hires, but still someone who wants to stay hands-on and grow.
The opportunity sits within a business that works across sophisticated investment and risk analytics, with exposure to multi-asset risk engines, external data providers and complex quantitative workflows. It’s a strong fit for someone who enjoys technical problem-solving, analytical thinking and working in an environment where the commercial application of the work is clear.
Responsibilities
- Supporting and improving multi-asset risk engine environments
- Processing and enhancing data used in risk and analytics workflows
- Using statistical methods to analyse information and solve business problems
- Improving and extending the surrounding microservices ecosystem
- Helping ensure reliability, responsiveness and performance of risk-related applications
- Working closely with senior stakeholders across risk and client-facing teams
Requirements / Qualifications
- Around 2–5 years’ experience in quant, risk technology, analytics engineering or similar
- Good grounding in Python and SQL
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Good understanding of financial markets and risk concepts
- A detail-oriented, organised and intellectually curious approach
- The ability to work in a hands-on, evolving environment where priorities can move quickly
Additional fit points
- Better suited to someone from a startup or midsize business than a large, layered corporate environment
- They value people who are motivated, pragmatic and comfortable in a flat organisation
- Strong candidates do not need a perfect academic pedigree, but they do need real technical credibility
- London-based role with an expectation of 4 days per week in the office
This is an excellent role for someone who wants to build on solid quant / risk foundations in a business where there is room to take ownership and progress quickly.
