  • Design statistical methods from first principles to detect outliers, distribution shifts, stale values, missing values, and inconsistencies across market datasets.
  • Investigate anomalies, quantify their impact on pricing and trading decisions, and communicate findings through written analyses and design documents.
  • Refactor and generalise methods as new asset classes and regions expose edge cases.

Comfortable moving between interactive analysis and production code.

A self-starter who finds the work that must be done, and does it without direction

Intellectual curiosity about messy real-world market data.

Genuine interest in financial markets (no prior knowledge or experience is required)
