Quantitative Analyst
Also called: quant, quant researcher, quant developer
A quant builds the mathematical models behind pricing, risk and trading. The role splits into distinct tracks: desk quants pricing derivatives, risk quants validating models, and researchers building systematic strategies. Backgrounds are typically PhD-level in maths, physics or computer science, and the differentiating skill in practice is production-quality code rather than theory alone.
