Description

Eximius are partnered with a leading Investment ban in the heart of London. This is an immediate contract opportunity for a Quantitative Analyst/Developer with hands on technical Java and KDB experience.

Equity Delta 1 Strats are responsible for automation and use of quantitative techniques across the cash equity business. Based on the trading floor, they work closely with traders to design, build, run and monitor trading engines that realise efficiencies and directly improve P&L.
A key demand and business focus currently is the CRB (Central Risk Book). The CRB strats team are typically P&L driven trading engines specialists, with a solid understanding of both trading and quant, able to solve business problems with hands-on technology efforts. Typical problems include risk pricing, risk management and backtesting, quoting and IOI, restructuring of internal flows, and quantitative measurement and reporting.
Due to growth in demand, an opportunity has arisen to join the CRB strats team. The successful candidate will have strong hands-on technical skills in Java and KDB and experience simulating and building real-money algorithmic trading engines. Ideally the candidate will be familiar with mathematical and quantitative techniques such as portfolio optimisation, impact cost modelling or transaction cost analysis. They will also have experience partnering with traders in a Front Office environment and be cognizant of the regulatory framework in which we operate. Above all, the candidate will be driven by use of technology to effect real change.
