We are looking for an Implementation Quantitative Developer to join our Quantitative Risk and Research team. You will be responsible for taking models from the Model Development team, optimizing them, and implementing them so that the business as an end user can make decisions. While Python is the primary language used for model development, tech, and implementation, understanding how to implement and optimize code will require knowledge of SQL and C languages. A strong math background is required, as optimizing models can require simplification of mathematical structures.
Attitude is just as important as aptitude, as Agora Data is a fun and fast-paced tech environment. Candidates should be excited to learn and lead, willing to take on challenging problems, and have a desire to meet academic standards.
What You'll Do
Take math, stats, and ML models from Model Development through implementation to the end user.
Convert development code into production code by optimization through math, software, and hardware improvements.
Work with the end user to understand what they need from the models and provide it to them in a useful format.
Work with the model development team to understand the models and how they can and cannot be used.
Work with the tech team to optimize the integration of models into the current tech framework.
Present code improvements and solutions to model development, tech, and the business.
Ability to work solo on projects with minimal oversight.
What You Need
Minimum of a master's degree in a STEM field; statistics, econometrics, mathematics, and quantitative finance preferred.
0-10 years of experience.
Time management skills to juggle multiple projects and interactions with other teams.
Excited to work with both technical and business teams.
Knowledge of models, including but not limited to logistic regression, linear regression, and decision tree based models.

Preferred Skills
