QUANTITATIVE ANALYST, OP Markets

The traditional finance industry is rapidly transforming, and our mission is to be a leading finance powerhouse in this change – or a tech powerhouse possessing a banking license, if you like. Are you looking to work with a stable and responsible employer that has made good use of enterprise agile? With us, you will. Welcome to OP!

We are strengthening OP Markets’s Quantitative Development team with a developer oriented Quantitative Analyst to work with us in Helsinki, Vallila.

WHAT WOULD YOU GET TO DO?

As a Quantitative Analyst, you will work with the proprietary C++ pricing and risk libraries within OP Markets. You get a unique opportunity to fully challenge your C++ skills and to work with the constructs from the most recent language standard. Your focus is on creating new features in order to help traders and sales succeed in their job. Thus, you are not just facing programming problems but also solving real-life business issues. Depending on your own interests and ambitions, the role can be tailored into working with the modelling (back end) or library consumer-oriented role for developing the user-interfaces (front-end).

As an ambitious agile team, we have end-to-end responsibility of system development and a great deal of both freedom and responsibility in finding the best ways to maximize customer value. In this role, you get a unique chance to be one of the few quantitative analysts in the whole country and producing high quality operations which would even impress our competitors on an international scale!
