You’ll be focused on enhancing and maintaining the core analytics platform – handling everything from integrating new MSCI data sets to optimising complex calculations used in portfolio construction and alpha generation.
Key responsibilities:
* Work with MSCI and other structured data feeds – identify gaps, map schema changes, and ensure accurate downstream calculations

* Optimise performance of existing quant models and analytics
* Manage and enhance data workflows – Snowflake, AWS, Python
* Liaise daily with investment professionals to understand requirements and deliver solutions
What we’re looking for:
* Strong Python developer with deep experience using statistical and numerical libraries (NumPy, pandas, SciPy etc.)
* Proven experience supporting quant or systematic investment strategies
* Good understanding of infrastructure – ideally AWS and Snowflake – and willingness to own setup and tooling
* Comfortable working in fast-paced front office environments with direct exposure to the investment team
* Detail-oriented, pragmatic, and able to work independently
Initial 6-month contract with long-term scope. Hybrid working model (3 days in the office). Up to £900/day, may be some flex for top end candidates.
