Role Overview

A leading financial services organisation is looking for a Senior Quantitative Analyst / Python Quant Engineer to support the consolidation of multiple modelling tools into a centralised Python-based Monte Carlo modelling framework.

This is a hands-on technical role requiring a strong mix of quantitative/statistical modelling and production-grade Python engineering. The successful candidate will help migrate existing models, optimise simulation performance, support AWS deployment, and make the framework easier to use across business teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, migrate, and enhance quantitative models within a central Python framework.
  • Build and optimise Monte Carlo simulation models and statistical analytics.
  • Write efficient, maintainable Python code suitable for production use.
  • Support migration of spreadsheet and standalone models into Python.
  • Work with AWS environments, including storage, databases, and compute.
  • Improve model performance, scalability, usability, and governance.
  • Act as a bridge between quant teams, business users, risk, and technology stakeholders.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Strong hands-on Python development Experience.
  • Experience writing efficient, scalable Python code beyond basic scripting.
  • Strong Experience with Monte Carlo simulation, stochastic modelling, or advanced statistical modelling.
  • Good statistical judgement and ability to assess model outputs.
  • Experience developing algorithms, simulations, or analytical frameworks.
  • Exposure to AWS or similar cloud environments.
  • Strong stakeholder communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.

Desirable Experience

  • Financial services, banking, capital markets, structured finance, credit risk, or capital modelling Experience.
  • Actuarial, insurance, or other Monte Carlo-heavy modelling backgrounds.
  • Experience migrating spreadsheet-based models into Python.
  • Exposure to model governance, risk frameworks, controls, or operational risk.
  • Experience building tools or interfaces for non-technical users.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal profile is a 50/50 Quant Analyst and Python Engineer — someone who combines strong statistical modelling capability with robust Python development skills.

They should be comfortable across:

  • Monte Carlo and statistical modelling.
  • Python engineering and performance optimisation.
  • AWS deployment and infrastructure conversations.
  • Risk, controls, and stakeholder-facing delivery.

Skills

  • Python
  • Quantitative analysis
  • Monte Carlo simulation
  • Risk management
  • Data quality
  • Risk & Controls

Employee Value Proposition

Opportunity to work with a large, recognised financial services institution on a high-impact modelling and analytics initiative within a regulated environment.
