Being on the Quant Implementation team gives me exposure to a wide variety of interesting and intellectually challenging subject areas. I work on projects covering different asset classes ranging from perfecting our backtests to be a closer representation of live, to bettering our portfolio construction & improving how we execute trades. It is exciting to see how my work can positively impact the firm.
As a junior member of the team, I receive a lot of support. Everyone on my team is willing to make time to explain unfamiliar concepts to me. Members of the quant teams are also modest and receptive to new ideas. I feel comfortable coming up with new proposals and challenging the existing implementation.
