Macro Quant Analyst Opportunity at Leading Hedge Fund

£200,000 - 400,000 GBP

Onsite WORKING

Location: London, Central London, Greater London - United Kingdom Type: Permanent

A leading hedge fund is building out a centralised quantitative team at the core of its trading and risk infrastructure. This is a rare opportunity to join a greenfield build with firm-wide impact, working directly on the models, systems, and analytics that underpin capital allocation and risk management across the business.

The Opportunity

You will join a small, high-impact global team responsible for designing and implementing the firm's next-generation pricing, risk, and analytics platform. This is not a siloed role - your work will directly influence portfolio construction, risk visibility, and decision-making across all trading strategies.

This is a foundational hire, not a replacement or incremental addition. The team is building from the ground up, with a mandate to create a single, consistent view of models, risk, and capital across the firm.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement production-grade quantitative models across asset classes
• Build scalable infrastructure for pricing, risk, and analytics
• Contribute to the design of a centralised risk and model architecture
• Work closely with trading, risk, and portfolio management teams
• Deliver robust, well-tested code with a strong focus on quality and reliability

What We're Looking For

• 3-7 years' experience in a quantitative research or quant development role
• Strong programming skills and ability to write production-quality code
• Proven track record of delivering real systems, not just research prototypes
• Solid understanding of financial models across one or more asset classes
• Pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset with strong ownership

Preferred Experience

• Exposure to rates and macro modelling (e.g. curves, bonds, curve infrastructure)
• Experience upgrading or building pricing/risk infrastructure
• Broad asset class knowledge (credit, equities, FX, commodities) is beneficial
