• Automated Lifecycle Engineering: Implement sophisticated systems to handle complex event processing (e.g., stock dividends, splits, mergers, and distributions) to ensure zero-error adjustments to pricing models and live positions.

• Quantitative Liaison: Partner directly with Traders and researchers to translate quantitative needs into technical reality, providing SME guidance on how lifecycle events impact risk, PnL, and Greeks.

• Integrity & Monitoring: Develop advanced outlier detection and data-cleansing frameworks to maintain elite-level data quality across global exchanges.

• System Evolution: Lead the modernization of the research-to-production pipeline, championing automated CI/CD practices and high-performance data storage solutions.

• Seniority: 8+ years of experience in a quantitative environment (Investment Banking, Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund, or Prop Trading).

• Education: PhD or Master’s degree in a technical field (Financial Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or Math).

• Domain Authority: Deep understanding of Derivative mechanics (Options, Swaps, Futures) and the impact of corporate actions on valuation and hedging.

• Technical Mastery: Expert proficiency in high-performance programming (Python, C++, or Java) and a strong command of SQL and Time-Series databases.

• Professional Stature: Proven ability to act as a Subject Matter Expert, influencing senior stakeholders and traders through clear technical and financial reasoning.

• Languages: Professional fluency in English; proficiency in Mandarin is a significant advantage for regional collaboration.
