Equity Derivatives Quant - Exotics

The Equity and Fixed Income departments have been merged this summer - so my client is now covering all asset classes. They are looking for people who are very imaginative, creative. You do not need to be experienced or not. You could be a junior or a senior. If you’re a junior and you have no training in finance, you need to have some homework.

Note that this group does not code & maintain the pricing library and they do not supervise the risk analysis processes - this is done by a different R&D team.

What this team does:

- They design new models and new algos
- They do code a lot, but they only code our own prototypes which they first use to assess our models and then distribute to traders. Once traders & ourselves are happy with the model, they get it validated by the Risk function, then hand everything over to the R&D team for implementation.
- They regularly asked by exo. traders & structurers to assess the risk of a new product and to come up with a pricing / hedging methodology, using our prototypes
- They also work on plain vanilla issues
- They also work on prop-trading issues on volatility & credit - which is unusual for IB Quants.

Although preferable; you are not explicitly required to send your CV.
