Goldman Sachs Quant Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Who We Are

Goldman Sachs is a leading global participant in the commodities markets, active across a wide range of financial and physical products. We operate a fully integrated global business, offering comprehensive client services that span derivatives risk management and advisory, physical trading and logistics, and structured finance solutions.

At Goldman Sachs, Quantitative Strategists (Strats) are at the cutting edge of our businesses, solving real-world problems through a variety of analytical methods. Working in close collaboration with traders and sales, their invaluable quantitative perspectives on complex financial and technical challenges directly power our commercial and business decisions.

Our team is dedicated to transforming the commodities business through quantitative research and the systemization of key trading processes. We have a broad remit that includes automated quoting, optimizing hedging and portfolio risk decisions, and developing algorithms to trade derivatives on global venues. By deploying advanced statistical analysis and mathematical models, we enhance decision-making and drive business performance, working side-by-side with traditional "voice" traders and sales professionals on the trading floor.

Our core value is building strong, lasting relationships with our clients, which include corporations, financial institutions, and fund managers. We help them execute transactions on global exchanges, raise funding, and manage complex risks. This is a dynamic, entrepreneurial team with a passion for the markets, composed of individuals who thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments and are energized by the activity of a bustling trading floor.

Our culture is built on teamwork, innovation, and meritocracy. We believe our people are our greatest asset, and we take pride in supporting each colleague both professionally and personally. From collaborative workspaces to comprehensive wellbeing and resilience offerings, we provide our people with the flexibility and support they need to reach their goals both inside and outside the office.

Who We Look For

We seek self-driven, intellectually curious, and commercially oriented individuals who thrive on solving complex, open-ended problems. You should be a creative and quantitative collaborator who can adapt to the fast-paced evolution of global markets and who enjoys the challenge of translating sophisticated concepts into actionable client solutions.
