What we’re looking for:

• A degree in mathematics, physics, engineering or a related quantitative discipline.
• Up to five years’ professional experience, including at least two years developing exotic options pricing models.
• Strong modern C++ skills and experience working with Linux and Git.
• A solid understanding of options theory, derivatives pricing and risk.
