Quantile offers market-leading optimisation services that reduce counterparty risk, notional and capital requirements to increase the efficiency and liquidity of derivatives markets, improve returns for clients, and make the financial system safer.
We are part of LSEG's Post Trade division, where we connect a network of participants and use advanced algorithms to reduce risk and release capital. Since launch, our services have eliminated trillions of dollars of gross notional through interest rate compression and billions of dollars in initial margin and capital requirements through counterparty risk optimisation.
Our clients, including all the top tier global banks, regional banks, buy-side firms and other large institutional market participants, are serviced from offices in London, New York and Amsterdam - with Tokyo coming soon.
This role is within a new service where we will optimize trading in real-time, assisting participants in either exiting or entering risk positions. The service is rapidly expanding, and the role involves not only running the service but also extending it. The role requires interaction with market participants while performing highly complex algorithms. Moreover, the role necessitates close collaboration with the engineering team to further enhance the setup and algorithms, thereby improving user experience and results.
