The Role

Schonfeld is looking for a talented individual to join its DMFI (Discretionary Macro and Fixed Income) business in the New York office.

• Build and maintain fixed income analytics, valuation tools, and relative value frameworks used for idea generation and portfolio monitoring.
• Develop research pipelines and production-quality tooling for data ingestion, analytics, backtesting, and risk analysis.
• Analyse relative value opportunities across rates and fixed income markets using quantitative and statistical techniques.
• Work with the PM to turn trading intuition into quantitative models and repeatable research processes.
• Improve the robustness, scalability, and maintainability of the team's codebase and analytical stack.
