Flexible Hybrid

Objective

Global Banking is looking for a developer to implement and enhance a portfolio optimisation model and a suite of analytic tools to support the structuring, execution, and lifecycle maintenance of clients program of strategic risk-sharing transactions ("SRTs").

The existing model has been prototyped in R, with inputs generated from an Alteryx script. A core goal of the project is to encode this to production standard in Python, extend and improve where necessary.

The anticipated length of the project is 6-12 months, full time.

Candidate Profile/Requirements

We are looking for a motivated, results-oriented, organised self-starter with a problem-solving mindset, willing to learn how the business operates so as to be able to deliver effectively in a dynamic, deal-driven, front-office environment.

• Python proficiency is essential, knowledge of R and Alteryx is desirable, C++ a bonus
• Prior experience of working on or delivering production-standard projects is preferred
• Analytical background would be an advantage (e.g. maths, physics, engineering, computer science)
• Financial knowledge may be helpful but more important would be the ability to learn and adapt quickly

The role is expected to suit candidates with some experience (1-3y), but we are open to considering candidates outside this range if they are motivated and have the capability to deliver our requirements.
