Our client is searching for a quantitative software developer to join their Structured Credit Strats group in New York on a full-time basis. 

This desk has some of the most extensive data and analytic requirements at the firm and consistently leverages Strats input to accomplish their business objectives. To expand our modeling capabilities in this asset class, we are seeking an early-to-mid-career developer with a strong mathematical background to contribute to this project flow.

The Strats group works closely and primarily with investment professionals in all our offices to help them interpret and act on market opportunities through the application of technology. The team is small, high- caliber, and well-positioned to make a significant and visible impact on the business. Key success factors are intellectual agility, creative problem solving, solid judgment, and keen attention to detail. Exceptional communication skills and a sense of urgency are a must. The team shares a passion for operational excellence and automation of routine tasks and loves to learn about new technologies, techniques, and markets.

The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of many technologies and is able to effectively navigate the tradeoffs amongst buying, building, reusing, and a quick hack. The Strats group most frequently codes in Python and SQL
