Must-have:

• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in computer science, mathematical finance, applied mathematics/statistics, physics, engineering and a related field

• VP or Director level with:

  • A minimum of 3-years of quant library development experience: skilled in mapping derivatives pricing requirement into a framework backed by abstract computer linguistic

  • Good understanding of equity derivatives pricing, exposures to generic Monte-Carlo, PDE, and product scripting

  • experience in financial instruments, model data structure, risk-engine implementations and designing library APIs.

  • knowledge in C++ 20/17/14, proficiency in modern C++: STL, move semantic, template and initialization list

  • Good communication skills.
