What we’re looking for

You are analytical, precise, and curious. Someone who enjoys solving complex problems and turning data into insight. You combine confidence with competitiveness and a clear quantitative mindset. You have a solid understanding of statistics, probability theory and basic financial concepts (e.g. bonds, Black-Scholes-Merton, VaR). You know how to work with data, models and visualizations, and you enjoy improving processes along the way.


You’ll need:

  • Proficiency in Python. At least 1 year of proven experience (university, internship, or work)
  • Experience with Python libraries such as NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, plotly
  • A university degree in Quantitative Finance, Econometrics, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or another quantitative field

  • Direct exposure to financial markets and real trading processes
  • Freedom to learn, experiment, and grow towards senior quant or trading roles
  • The chance to make a visible impact on our portfolio and strategies
