• Solid understanding of risk concepts (Greeks, VaR, stress/scenario analysis), pricing methodologies, market data, and P&L explain
• Experience working through full SDLC in a controlled environment: requirements, testing, release management, and documentation

Technical Skills:

• SQL (advanced) ability to write complex queries and understand stored procedures.
