  • Develop, implement, and validate derivatives pricing models for new and existing products across various asset classes such as equities, commodities, futures, perpetuals, and options
  • Backtest margin coverage and document model performance, assumptions, and limitations to standards that withstand regulatory and audit review
  • Build and maintain the data pipelines and automated reporting behind risk models, working in SQL, Python, and relational databases
  • Monitor and analyze real-time and historical portfolio risk, including exposure, leverage, margin utilization, concentration, and liquidation
  • Design optimal automated liquidation logic and algorithms to balance market risk with market impact during extreme volatility
  • Perform scenario analysis and stress testing across a range of market conditions
  • Provide risk input into product onboarding, listing reviews, and regular risk parameter reviews including haircuts, margin levels, liquidation thresholds, index pricing, funding rates, and position limits
  • Analyze market microstructure on multi-asset derivative markets and periodically review and calibrate risk models according to evolving market conditions
  • Support the build and maintenance of internal risk dashboards and analytical tools

What you bring

  • 5+ years of relevant working experience in quantitative research, risk management, trading, or a related field, with exposure to daily risk operations alongside modelling work
  • A Master's or PhD in a quantitative discipline such as mathematics, physics, statistics, engineering, computer science, financial engineering, or quantitative finance
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL or NoSQL data structures, data models, and database management
  • A strong understanding of derivatives pricing theory across traditional and digital asset classes
  • A deep understanding of order book dynamics (L1-L3 data) and cross/portfolio-margining methodologies such as offsetting spot against futures
  • Deep knowledge of equities, commodity products, macro assets, and ongoing developments in these spaces, and thorough familiarity with futures, perpetuals, or other derivative types
  • Direct trading experience (personal or professional), with deep familiarity with margin concepts and liquidation mechanisms
  • Critical thinking and a drive for continuous improvement

Nice to have

  • Experience at a broker-dealer, exchange, or clearing organization, with familiarity of how brokers and CCPs operate
  • Regulator-facing experience
