Summary

Quantitative Data Engineer - Fixed Income and Mortgages

The Quantitative Data Engineer partners closely with Quantitative Research and is responsible for the end-to-end data workflow that supports loan-level and structured credit modeling. This role owns data acquisition, feature generation, model inputs, and production-ready datasets used across quantitative investment and risk analytics. It is a hands-on engineering position for someone who wants to work directly alongside researchers and contribute to the development, deployment, and improvement of data-driven models.

The role collaborates with Research, Engineering, and Investment teams to build scalable analytics and machine learning infrastructure that supports investment decision-making.

Core Responsibilities
  • Design and maintain large-scale data pipelines supporting credit, mortgage, and structured product analytics.
  • Build and optimize loan-level feature engineering workflows and model input datasets.
  • Develop reproducible data processing frameworks that support research, validation, and production deployment.
  • Partner with quantitative researchers to implement new features, validate methodologies, and improve model performance.
  • Work with engineering teams to productionize research outputs and improve platform scalability and reliability.
  • Support ad hoc quantitative analysis and investigation of portfolio, collateral, and performance datasets.

Required Qualifications
  • Strong Python development experience, including production-quality code, testing, packaging, and code review practices.
  • Deep experience with distributed data processing using Spark and PySpark, including optimization of joins, partitioning, caching, skew management, and execution performance.
  • Advanced SQL skills and experience querying large columnar data warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Vertica, or similar platforms.
  • Experience building analytical datasets and feature engineering workflows for machine learning, statistical modeling, or quantitative research.
  • Strong understanding of reproducible data pipelines, experiment tracking, artifact management, and version-controlled development.
  • Experience working in shared engineering environments utilizing Git, automated testing, and CI/CD processes.
  • Ability to work directly with quantitative researchers and translate research requirements into scalable engineering solutions.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working with loan-level, mortgage, consumer credit, or structured finance datasets.
  • Exposure to prepayment, default, transition, or loss modeling in credit or securitized products.
  • Familiarity with market and reference data providers, securitization cash flows, collateral reporting, or structured product analytics.
  • Experience with Databricks, Delta Lake, workflow orchestration tools, and modern cloud-based analytics platforms.
  • Exposure to model deployment, scoring frameworks, experiment tracking, or machine learning operations.
  • Experience with high-performance analytics tools such as Polars, DuckDB, Pandas, and scikit-learn.
  • Familiarity with workflow scheduling, data quality monitoring, and pipeline validation.
  • Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, refactoring, testing, and codebase navigation.
  • Knowledge of cloud infrastructure, object storage, access controls, and cost-efficient data architecture.

Education
  • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Financial Engineering, Mathematics, Economics, Physics, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline.
  • Candidates from adjacent industries are welcome, particularly those with strong distributed computing, data engineering, and machine learning experience.
