Our client is seeking a Jr. Quantitative Developer to join their Derivatives team. This is a specialized role sitting directly on the trading floor, designed for a "Financial Engineer" who wants to build the technical tools that power $70 billion in assets under management.

As a Quant Dev, you will bridge the gap between complex mathematical models and production-ready software. You will work alongside traders, quants, and data analysts to automate trading decisions, price complex derivatives (options, futures, etc.), and manage risk quantification.

Role

  • Implement and maintain quantitative models for the valuation and analysis of derivatives portfolios.
  • Build and optimize data pipelines (approx. 50-60% of initial work) using APIs to extract data from internal systems and financial platforms like Bloomberg or MATLAB.
  • Assist in the migration of legacy systems to modern cloud architectures, specifically involving Snowflake and AWS.
  • Develop both backend services and UI tools for real-time trading, hedging, and portfolio monitoring.
  • Partner with senior developers to refactor existing codebases and create technical documentation aligned with the software development lifecycle.
  • Provide direct technical support and system enhancements for the front-office trading team.

Qualifications

This role is open to junior developers and recent graduates with a strong mathematical foundation and a passion for financial markets.

Required

  • Proficiency in Python or a strong desire to learn it. Experience with C#, MATLAB, or Go is also applicable.
  • A solid understanding of Object-Oriented Programming principles is essential.
  • Experience writing queries and manipulating data within relational (SQL Server, Oracle) or NoSQL (MongoDB) databases.
  • A high level of intellectual curiosity regarding financial markets and derivative products.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Financial Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative field.

Preferred

  • Knowledge of AWS Cloud services.
  • Experience with Snowflake.
  • FRM or CFA certifications (or progress toward them).
  • Familiarity with Visual Studio Code or PyCharm.

Details

  • Team locations: Topeka / Kansas City Metro.
  • Team is in office based on manager’s preference and location; some employees go in daily.
  • Daycare services available at Topeka office.
