SUMMARY

Are you someone who has a background in programming and keen interest/experience in financial markets? Are you keen to work in an environment that’s stimulating and convivial with countless opportunities for growth and plenty of freedom to make a real impact? This could be the place for you!
We are looking for our next Financial Engineer based in the London Metropolitan Area. Supported by and reporting to the Financial Engineering Manager, you will be joining a friendly and growing team to disrupt the Index space and participate in the next phase of our growth.

You will be responsible for modeling, creating, backtesting, and launching a wide range of new index strategies across various asset classes. Your exposure will include (but of course not limited to) equities, futures, options, and multi asset classes. Alongside the rest of the Financial Engineering team, you’ll leverage pandas and related python libraries to produce MerQube branded financial engines as well as indexing strategies for major financial institutions.
You’ll interface directly with both clients and MerQube’s platform engineering team, developing and automating processes for daily and historical calculations to construct powerful financial engines. For this, a formidable background in distributed systems, communication skills, and general software engineering principles is essential.
