This is a unique opportunity at an employee-first hedge fund, currently with 35 people, looking to rapidly grow their technology team in the near future whilst maintaining a good culture and healthy work-life balance to keep their brilliant retention levels. They're looking for a Quant Developer with credit experience who can build robust and scalable systems, in both the real-time and batch processing spaces.

The successful Quant Developer will have experience calculating market value for credit indices (CDX, iTraxx etc) and building associated credit curves.
