Front-office Strategists (IRP Strats) at Goldman Sachs develop quantitative pricing and risk models for both non-linear and one-delta rates, build quoting and risk-management tools for trading desks, and identify relative-value opportunities across markets. The role also partners with engineering teams to design and deploy scalable, high-performance trading platforms leveraging modern technologies including cloud and AI.
Who We Are
At Goldman Sachs, we connect people, capital and ideas to help solve problems for our clients. We are a leading global financial services firm providing investment banking, securities and investment management services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and individuals.
What we do
Front-office Strategists (“Strats”) are responsible for building quantitative and technological edge to drive business evolution within the firm’s Global Banking & Markets division. Some sit on individual trading desks, where they develop models to price derivatives, evaluate risks and hedges, and understand market behavior. Others work across desks, building large-scale quoting and risk platforms or optimize division-wide capital deployment, or across venues, pushing the frontiers of low-latency and algorithmic trading on exchanges and electronic channels. All play an integral role on the trading floor at the intersection of quant finance and commercial decision-making.
Responsibilities
As an IRP Strat, your responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:
- Pricing and risk management of non-linear rates, from vanilla options to callable exotics: building, maintaining and enhancing pricing models, quantitative risk management and quoting methodologies, and tools used by the trading desk for complex risk analyses.
- Pricing and risk management of one-delta rates, from SOFR swaps to Treasury ETFs: synthesizing swap curves and NAV bases from market data, identifying relative-value opportunities across markets, and building out our systematic market-making strategy.
- Partnering with engineering teams to build and deploy scalable high-performance trading platforms which utilize cutting-edge proprietary and emerging technologies including cloud-based and AI architectures.
Basic Qualifications
- Undergraduate or advanced degree in computer science, engineering, math, physics or similar
- Strong programming experience, preferably in a high-performing language such as C/C++/Java or Python (with NumPy, Pandas, etc.)
- Demonstrated interest in financial markets and quantitative finance, e.g. stochastic calculus or statistical arbitrage/signals
