    Description

    We are looking for a Quantitative Developer to join our Quantitative Development team. This team is responsible for building and maintaining the firm's proprietary quantitative risk engine, which underpins our market risk analytics. As part of the wider quantitative group—alongside Quant Research and Quant Strategies —you will play a key role in integrating advanced financial models into our client-facing application Horizon, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance.

    This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and quantitative finance, offering the opportunity to work with multiple teams and directly impact how our models are deployed and used by clients.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Design, develop, and maintain components of the in-house quantitative library and risk engine.
    • Collaborate with Quant Research and Quant Strategy teams to implement pricing and risk models for multiple asset classes.
    • Work with Technology and Product teams to integrate quant systems into internal platforms and external client applications.
    • Optimize code and infrastructure for performance, scalability, and stability in production environments.
    • Contribute to the evolution of the firm's quantitative technology stack, including testing frameworks, CI/CD processes, and coding standards.
    • Support market data integration with market data vendors to ensure accurate pricing and risk calculations.
    • Document system design, development practices, and integration processes for both internal stakeholders and external clients.

    Qualifications

    • Minimum 2 years of experience in quantitative development, financial engineering, or risk technology.
    • MSc degree in STEM field.
    • Strong programming skills in Python, including experience with numerical libraries and production-quality code.
    • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) for deploying and scaling applications.
    • Understanding of FX and Interest Rate trade modelling, pricing, and risk management.
    • Familiarity with market data vendors and OTC market data conventions.
    • Strong grasp of software engineering best practices, including testing, version control, and CI/CD.
    • Ability to work collaboratively across quant, tech, and product teams, while managing multiple development projects.
    • Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate technical work into actionable outputs for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience with Rust or C++ for performance-critical quantitative development.
    • Exposure to additional asset classes or risk analytics beyond FX and rates.
    • Familiarity with financial risk concepts such as sensitivities, scenario analysis, and stress testing.

    Validus Risk Management is an independent technology-enabled advisory firm specialising in the management of FX, interest rate and other market risks. We work with institutional investors, fund managers and portfolio companies to design and implement strategies to measure, manage and monitor financial market risk, using a market-tested combination of specialist consulting services, trade execution and innovative risk technology.
