Elevate your career, perform when it counts: become part of our global financial consulting evolution!

Your role:

Zanders advises banks and other financial institutions on pricing, risk and treasury. Clients increasingly need pricing and risk models that run fast enough, at scale and at production quality. As a Senior Consultant and Quantitative Developer (HPC), you build and optimize the high-performance computing infrastructure behind those models.

You join our global Financial Institutions team in London or Utrecht and work alongside an international group of 100+ Financial Institutions consultants. You work in multidisciplinary teams to design, develop, implement and test pricing and risk libraries, on topics such as derivatives pricing, market risk and counterparty risk analytics, and margin models. You take real responsibility early on: you contribute to technical design decisions and client deliverables, supported by senior colleagues and a clear development path.

Your background is in quantitative development at a bank, fintech or consultancy.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, develop, implement and test pricing and risk libraries with a focus on performance, scalability and production quality
Translate quantitative methods for derivatives pricing, market and counterparty risk analytics and margin models into fast, robust code
Optimize compute-intensive workloads through profiling, parallel and concurrent programming and, where relevant, GPU compute
Contribute to technical design decisions and document them for clients and colleagues
Own client deliverables on your workstream and keep stakeholders informed of progress, risks and trade-offs
Plan your own work within the project plan and adjust when priorities change
Review colleagues' code and share what you learn with the team
Build working relationships with client contacts on your projects and flag follow-on work to senior colleagues
Develop your expertise in HPC and quantitative finance, and contribute to internal knowledge sharing
Take part in Zanders-wide initiatives and help improve how our teams deliver
