  • Ability to manage multiple priorities while working both independently and collaboratively.

What Will Make You Stand Out:
  • Academic or research experience in derivatives, stochastic calculus, numerical methods, or financial modeling.
  • Experience implementing quantitative models in Python or C++.
  • Familiarity with options pricing models such as Black-Scholes, binomial trees, Monte Carlo simulation, or finite difference methods.
  • Experience working with large financial datasets and statistical analysis.
  • Exposure to machine learning techniques or predictive modeling.
  • Internship or research experience within quantitative finance, financial engineering, or capital markets.
  • Intellectual curiosity, a desire to continuously learn, and enthusiasm for tackling complex quantitative challenges.

What We Offer:
  • A collaborative environment where everyone's input makes a difference.
  • Paid time off: Vacation, Personal, Sick days, and Holidays.
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits (NJT, MTA, etc.) and 401k plan offered.
