  • Contribute to monthly reviews and internal reporting on portfolio structure and performance attribution.

Requirements

  • Experience with Python (Pandas, NumPy, etc.) for data analysis; familiarity with SQL and/or visualization libraries (e.g., Plotly, Dash) is a plus.
  • Comfort working with large datasets, strategy-level performance data, and time-series analysis.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to present quantitative findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Highly detail-oriented with a proactive mindset and strong sense of ownership
  • Good to have:
  • Knowledge of systematic trading strategies (e.g., stat arb, trend following, market making).
  • Familiarity with risk models, capacity analysis, or intraday exposure tracking.
