• Improve performance and telemetry to ensure production stability and tuning.
• Create a development environment that supports efficient build, test, and release workflows.
• Partner with other FICC Quants teams to align standards and achieve convergence outcomes.

What We're Looking For

• Front office quantitative development experience, including building and integrating models in a front office environment.
• Knowledge of standard pricing models used in the investment banking industry.
• Strong C++ development experience, including modern tooling such as Visual Studio 2019 or later.
• Application of software engineering fundamentals across data structures, algorithms, testing, debugging, and distributed systems.
• Ability to work effectively across Windows and Linux environments, utilizing strong source control practices like Git.
• Proficiency with build systems such as CMake, Ninja, and MS Build.
• Application of quant fundamentals across products, market data, pricing models, and risk measures.
• Ability to specify, implement, delegate, and verify software development tasks within a delivery backlog.
• Experience using messaging and integration patterns, such as Protocol Buffers (protobuf), where appropriate.
• Experience with Python or Java.
