2 weeks ago
Reporting to the Technology team’s Head of Macro Quant Strategy, desk quants provide quantitive support to portfolio managers in our Global Macro business.
**A Career with Point72’s Technology Team**
As Point72 reimagines the future of investing, our Technology group is constantly improving our company’s IT infrastructure, positioning us at the forefront of a rapidly evolving technology landscape. We’re a team of experts experimenting, discovering new ways to harness the power of open source solutions, and embracing enterprise agile methodology. We encourage professional development to ensure you bring innovative ideas to our products while satisfying your own intellectual curiosity.
Over the past 2 years, we have seen significant investment in the technology team, focused on the transformation of the Firm’s technology organization, into a world-class, cloud-first, technology group. During this time, the Global Macro business has expanded significantly, and as a result, we are building a combined quant & technology team dedicated to Macro.
As our Macro business continues to grow in APAC we have an opening for a junior desk quant with a focus on quantitative support for the Portfolio Managers (PMs) in the region. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an exceptional team, in a major growth phase. We are looking for problem solvers who are passionate about delivering best in class technology.
**What you’ll do**
Working closely with a senior quant in APAC you will be responsible for providing quantitative advice & support to PMs on a daily basis. This will involve answering ad-hoc queries as well as building tools to help PMs analyse P&L, risk and trading opportunities.
**What’s required**
We’re looking for an experienced quantitative modeler or strategist with strong mathematical and abstract problem-solving ability, a good understanding of the nature of complex financial portfolio risk, and rigorous coding abilities. Specifically, you will need:
- Graduate degree or undergraduate degree from a renowned institution in theoretical physics, pure or applied mathematics, electrical engineering, or quantitative finance
- 1-3 years of demonstrably successful professional experience as a quantitative modeler or strategist on a top tier investment bank derivatives trading desk and/or leading Global Macro hedge fund
- Direct knowledge of APAC Rates & FX markets is a requirement.
- This is a hybrid role, requiring a minimum of 3 days in the one of the Point72 offices in Singapore, Hong Kong or Sydney.
- Our system is predominantly implemented in.net/C#, but ad-hoc studies might be requested in other languages such as C++, Python, F#, R or Matlab. Professional-level familiarity with at least one of these languages is essential, as well as the desire (and ability) to learn the.net framework and meta-programming.
- In addition to being comfortable and effective around investment professionals and senior management, success in the role will require natural adhesion to Macro Tech team work ethics, quality standards, commitment to technical rigor while keeping delivery schedules, transparency, and reliability.
- All our colleagues and team members are expected to maintain a commitment to the highest ethical standards
**We take care of our people**
We invest in our people, their careers, their health, and their well-being. When you work here, we provide:
- Health care benefits
- Generous parental and family leave policies
- Mental and physical wellness programs
- Volunteer opportunities
- Non-profit matching gift program
- Support for employee-led affinity groups representing women, people of color and the LGBT+ community
- Tuition assistance
