• 5-7 years of work experience in top‑tier financial firms; directly supporting fixed income trading is preferred.
• 3-5 years of work experience in implementation of yield curves, volatility cubes, and both vanilla and exotic interest rate derivatives.
• Extensive programming skill in C++ (STL, Boost, design pattern, and C++11/14) and experience in Python programming as well as interface between C++ and Python. This is a hands‑on job in a highly productive environment.
• Strong attention to detail with high standards; responsible for the whole development cycle.
• Able to articulate issues and explain to quants and portfolio managers.
