Finance engineers, also known as financial engineers or quantitative analysts, use mathematical models, computer science, and statistical techniques to solve financial problems and develop new financial products. They often work for banks, investment firms, hedge funds, insurance companies, or fintech companies, designing algorithms for trading, risk management, and asset valuation. Their expertise helps organizations make data-driven decisions and manage financial risks more effectively.

Finance Engineers often work closely with teams such as data analytics, risk management, IT, and portfolio management to develop and implement financial models and automated trading systems. They contribute their quantitative expertise to solve complex financial problems, ensuring that technological solutions align with business goals. Regular communication and collaboration are essential, as Finance Engineers need to translate financial requirements into technical specifications and vice versa. This cross-functional work environment provides valuable opportunities to learn from other disciplines and develop a well-rounded understanding of both finance and technology.

    • Project manage across many stakeholders. If you don't like being the person leading meetings with large groups of people or managing large Slack channels to wrangle stakeholders towards a solution, this may not be the role for you
    • Work across functions and learn Anduril's business top-to-bottom. You will interact with Finance, Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and more
  • Own detailed should cost models end-to-end, from on-the-ground gathering of data, through creating materials, to presenting them to stakeholders

  • You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at-times require comms to large groups and senior leadership
  • You enjoy working at a place where no one minds if you leave early one day to go to an appointment or run an errand, but you also don't mind responding to Slacks in the evening while you're watching Netflix
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Basic understanding of engineering design within one or more of the following: aerospace, software, maritime, or electronics
