THE ROLE: Quant Developer OTC Pricing This is a senior-level quant development role within the OTC pricing team, focused on turning quantitative ideas into robust, production-grade trading and pricing solutions. The successful candidate will work very closely with quantitative researchers, contributing not only to implementation but also to the design and refinement of pricing and liquidity models. The role combines research-oriented modelling in Python with production engineering in Java. You will use Python to analyse data, test ideas and support model development, while using Java to build and enhance high-performance pricing infrastructure used in a live, global trading environment. You will be involved in the development of pricing logic, flow analysis, spread optimisation and automated hedging tools. The role also includes working on distributed systems challenges in a 24/7 multi-region environment, where reliability, consistency and performance are critical. This is a high-impact position for someone who enjoys applying quantitative thinking to real trading and pricing problems at scale.
