  • Programming & Systems Proficiency: Expert-level proficiency in multiple programming languages (Python, Java preferred) along with experience in data modeling and managing large, complex financial datasets.
  • People & Delivery Management: Proven track record of managing, mentoring, and scaling engineering talent across global locations, with a focus on cross-timezone alignment and team growth.
  • Communication & Relationship Building: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to confidently present quantitative insights to institutional clients and collaborate with front-office sales and trading teams.
