KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:

Role Overview:

• The Senior Fixed Income Tech Quant Developer is responsible for engineering and scaling the quantitative technology stack that underpins fixed income systematic and discretionary investment strategies. The role focuses on building production‑grade platforms, data pipelines, analytics frameworks, and execution systems that enable quantitative alpha generation.
• Reporting to the Head of Quant Technology, this individual will work closely with the Quant Researchers, Portfolio Managers, investment teams, and Technology partners to ensure that quantitative research, portfolio construction, liquidity analytics, and execution models are implemented reliably, efficiently, and at scale.
• This is a senior individual contributor role with strong architectural ownership, technical expertise, and influence across the Quant ecosystem.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of scalable quant engineering platforms supporting fixed income research, portfolio management, portfolio analytics, and execution workflows.
• Contribute to the core frameworks for research‑to‑production pipelines, ensuring reproducibility, performance, and governance.
• Partner with the Head of Quant and quant researchers to translate research outputs into robust, production‑ready systems.
