Position Overview

You will join quantitative credit Strats team working alongside Deutsche Bank’s European Flow Credit and Emerging Markets business. Our credit trading businesses are fully committed to technology as a key differentiator of performance and the partnership with quant strategists is seen as crucial to the future success of the desk. You will be a member of a small agile team based in London delivering risk, profit and loss (PNL) and pre-trade flow and relative value analytics solutions to bond trading and sales. You will be a highly motivated self-starter and all-rounder with a working understanding of credit markets and the associated credit modelling mathematics, as well as being able to build production quality software applications and reports to tight timescales using appropriate technologies. You will be based on the trading floor and required to rapidly react to trader/sales/management demands in traditional ways but also using techniques in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to maximize our return on the large-scale data sets we curate.
