* Build and calibrate stress testing frameworks, with both historical and theoretical scenarios tailored to EM exposures.
* Develop automated risk tools using Python, including alerting systems, dashboards, and custom reporting aligned with EM-specific risk drivers.
* Partner with developers to integrate risk analytics into a web-based platform, using SQL for data sourcing and backend support.
* Design user-friendly GUIs in Python, making analytical tools more accessible to both risk and investment teams.
* Strengthen codebase reliability through improved testing routines and better version control, supporting a scalable and responsive risk platform.
What You'll Bring:
* Experienced in market risk within Emerging Markets, ideally with exposure to macro, multi-asset, or fixed income portfolios.
* Skilled in Python and SQL, with the ability to automate and optimize data-driven risk processes.
* Comfortable engaging directly with PMs, offering clear and actionable analysis.
* Passionate about improving tools and workflows that support smarter, faster risk decisions.
* Curious, proactive, and able to thrive in a collaborative, high-performance culture.
Why Join?
