Quantitative Developer

Direct message the job poster from Alexander Chapman

Recruitment Consultant at Alexander Chapman

Currently working on an exciting opportunity for a talented C++ Developer to join a high-performing Quantitative Analytics team at a leading investment bank. This role is ideal for a strong software engineer who thrives in deep systems development, particularly working on high-performance analytics libraries that support advanced modeling across asset classes.

The ideal candidate is a technically sharp engineer with a strong command of C++ and an appetite for building foundational components used by quant teams firm-wide. While finance experience is a plus, the key requirement here is deep technical expertise and a passion for clean, performant software.

Key Responsibilities:

• Enhance and maintain a large-scale quantitative analytics library used by modelers across the firm.
• Collaborate with quants and other developers to deliver performant, reliable code for complex modeling needs.
• Improve the design and maintainability of a mature codebase that underpins the bank's pricing and risk systems.

Required Skills:

• Strong background in C++, or alternatively Java/C#/Rust, with deep understanding of language internals and system-level programming.
• Advanced degree (MSc/PhD preferred) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative discipline.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work with cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with SIMD (AVX, GPU) for numerical computation.
• Familiarity with compiler technologies or domain-specific language development (LLVM a plus).
• Exposure to financial mathematics, derivatives modeling, or numerical methods like Monte Carlo or PDEs.
• Prior experience building libraries or frameworks for technical users (e.g. quants, engineers).

This is a rare opportunity to work on a highly impactful, well-architected codebase that has been developed over many years by top engineers and quants. The team is open to candidates from non-financial industries as well — especially those with backgrounds in gaming, systems programming, or consultancy with a strong delivery mindset.
