QRT’s culture of innovation continuously drives our ambition to deliver high quality returns for our investors.

Your future role within QRT:

  • Own end-of-day PnL and resolve discrepancies (flash vs official)
  • Investigate trade and position breaks across internal systems, brokers, and exchanges
  • Ensure market data (prices, vol, curves) is accurate for risk/PnL calculations
  • Explain PnL moves with traders and quants (delta, gamma, vega, etc.)
  • Ensure systems are ready before market open (health checks, sign-off)
  • Manage incidents and communicate clearly under time pressure
  • Improve processes through automation (scripts, monitoring tools)
  • Support releases and validate risk/PnL outputs
  • Participate in on-call rotation (evenings/weekends, remote)

Your present skillset:

  • 2+ years in risk, PnL, or quant support (trading firm, hedge fund, or bank)
  • Strong understanding of risk metrics (delta, gamma, vega, theta, DV01)
  • Experience with PnL production and reconciliation
  • Exposure to at least two asset classes (e.g. equities, FX, rates, commodities)
  • Strong SQL skills (SQL Server or Postgres)
  • ~1 year scripting (Python, Bash, or PowerShell)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Clear communication with technical and business stakeholders
  • High ownership and proactive mindset

Nice to have:

  • Market data tools (Bloomberg, Refinitiv)
  • Options pricing / vol surfaces
  • Prime brokerage / post-trade workflows
  • Algorithmic trading environments
  • Risk systems (e.g. Imagine, Murex, in-house)
  • Linux experience
  • Understanding of accounting PnL

QRT is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome diversity as essential to our success. QRT empowers employees to work openly and respectfully to achieve collective success. In addition to professional achievement, we are offering initiatives and programs to enable employees achieve a healthy work-life balance.
