Job Summary

We are looking for a quantitative developer to join our Credit Trading Quant team, which works in the front office, delivering technological solutions for Credit Trading into production.

The team owns the analytics and e-trading roadmap for credit trading in partnership with desk heads, with accountability for prioritisation, delivery, and realised business impact. We develop the foundational platform and analytics that enable performant e-trading for credit flow. We research systematic trading ideas that predict the future of financial markets, applying scientific techniques to find patterns in large, noisy and rapidly changing real-world data sets. We develop and deploy those ideas into production to positively impact targeted e-trading metrics.

The team also provides analytics and tooling to the whole of Credit Trading. Our tools help drive efficiency, increase revenue and make processes more robust. They can be delivered as dashboarding, web apps, scheduled jobs, APIs and more.

The successful candidate will:

• Design, develop and deploy high performance components critical for e-Trading in Credit Flow such as live position and risk calculations, RFQ response, and auto-hedging. These will predominantly be in Java but may use Python when appropriate.
• Ensure components delivered for e-Trading also provide value across Credit Flow.
• Advise on and action productionisation of tooling across our Credit Trading deliverables.
• Take ownership of their projects from inception to final delivery. This will require effective engagement and coordination with many teams including Trading, KDB, QA, Dev Ops, PSS, and the second line.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership and Innovation
Lead the enhancement of credit flow trading metrics including but not limited to response rates, market share growth, and profitability (PnL) by expanding the capabilities and reach of the e-Trading platform. Develop and deliver advanced analytics, dashboards, and applications that significantly improve Credit Trading efficiency and revenue generation while optimising returns on risk-weighted assets (RoRWA).

Business Collaboration and Delivery
Engage directly with front office traders to capture detailed business requirements and translate these into efficient, production-ready analytical products. Provide rapid module development and flexible configurations to meet evolving trading desk needs. Facilitate business growth by making platform components accessible to line traders, enabling overarching credit flow improvements.

Process Excellence
Coordinate cross-functional delivery teams, integrating efforts among trading, KDB, quality assurance, DevOps, and other technology partners to accelerate product development cycles, refactor existing codebases efficiently, and integrate new functionalities seamlessly. Champion best practices in application lifecycle management, code quality, environment governance, and cross-team collaboration.

Leadership and Cultural Development
Serve as a role model for professional excellence, fostering a culture that values diversity, integrity, and proactive risk management. Establish and communicate clear vision and expectations while collaborating closely with risk and control functions to ensure compliance and robustness in all deliverables.

Risk and Quality Management
Identify and address operational and model risks proactively, ensuring all quantitative methods and tools adhere strictly to internal governance frameworks and Group standards. Implement and oversee comprehensive testing protocols including user acceptance testing (UAT) and peer QA reviews before production deployment to uphold the highest quality standards.

Competencies
Our ideal team member demonstrates action-oriented behaviour, effectively collaborates across diverse teams, and maintains a strong customer focus. They provide clear guidance, manage ambiguity with confidence, and actively contribute to talent development within the organisation. Strategic mindset, courage in decision-making, and the ability to instill trust are essential traits. Additionally, candidates should possess a strong technical competency relevant to credit trading analytics, quantitative methods, and e-trading platforms.

Our Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate possesses expert Java skills and strong Python capability, with experience building low-latency, high-performance trading systems and scalable, production-grade applications. They have a solid understanding of e-trading environments, including RFQ workflows, and exposure to credit or fixed income markets, with familiarity across pricing, risk, and hedging. They combine strong system design, data, and analytical skills with the ability to work on large, complex datasets, and demonstrate a track record of delivering robust solutions into production. Comfortable partnering with front office traders, they can translate business needs into technical solutions, while maintaining a strong focus on testing, governance, and controls, and bringing a hands-on, can-do approach with full ownership of delivery.
