Quantitative Lead

Overview

We are looking for a hands‑on Quant Lead to join our Paris‑based team. This is not a traditional management role—you will lead a small squad of senior/expert quants while actively contributing to research, development, and implementation of pricing models.

What You’ll Do

• Lead a team of 3 senior/expert quants, providing guidance and technical support
• Research, design, and implement pricing models and payoffs
• Deliver production‑grade implementations used by clients
• Make technical decisions independently to ensure correct, robust, and efficient models
• Develop fast, stable, and scalable algorithms
• Own the full lifecycle: mathematical formulation → implementation → delivery
• Contribute to team structure, knowledge sharing, and methodological standards

What We’re Looking For

• 7–8+ years’ experience in quantitative finance
• Strong knowledge of pricing models and payoffs
• Hands‑on experience implementing pricing models (not just validation)
• Experience in Interest Rates or FX (one required; Equity is a plus)
• Ability to lead and challenge senior/expert quants in a high‑responsibility team
• Coding experience in any language (Python a plus, but not mandatory)
• Stochastic calculus, numerical methods, and derivative pricing models
• Degree in mathematics, finance, physics, engineering, or equivalent
• Fluent French (team based in Paris)

Why Join Us

• Lead a high‑calibre quant squad with significant technical autonomy
• Work on impactful, production‑level models across key asset classes
• Collaborate in a technically rigorous, intellectually stimulating environment
• Contribute to shaping the methodology and standards of the quant team
• Live and work in Paris with a strong work‑life balance
