The group ensures that state-of-the-art models driven by high quality market data are brought together in robust, fast and accurate implementations that keep Bloomberg at the cutting edge of derivatives analytics.

• Calibration of curves and volatility surfaces, interpolation and extrapolation of data, creation of proxies
• Research, implementation and maintenance of models for pricing flow and moderately exotic equity instruments
• You will take ownership for documenting and communicating these findings to internal and external clients as necessary

• Hands-on implementation experience (C/C++ required, Python optional) and best practices in software development, including version control, unit and regression testing
• Strong knowledge of mathematical finance and of numerical techniques employed in derivatives pricing models
