The Quantitative Engineering department is business focussed and prides itself in being subject matter experts across our core areas: business knowledge, research and development of derivatives models, analytical tools, producing highly scalable performant compute services for pricing and risk. The group operates in a high‑pressure front office environment where many requests and issues are directed to this group during a typical day and require addressing in short order.

The issues are frequently complex, requiring knowledge of complex systems and coordination across multiple teams.

We are committed to equipping our employees with the tools that will enable them to fulfil their job to the highest standard. To that end we offer a wide range of technical and personal development courses both in-house and through third‑party providers.

It is a fast‑paced and dynamic working environment where each day is interesting and challenging. There’s also an incredible pool of talent and skills within EDFT. I’m continuously learning from my colleagues.

There is no typical day. I work on a wide range of compensation, benefit and mobility projects throughout the year. One thing’s for sure though, I’ll have my head in a spreadsheet at some point.
