О компании и продукте

• In concrete terms, traders or salespeople are going to see us with a problem and we are going to provide a solution taking into account various parameters such as the specificities of the market. To develop all these models, you need to understand a large library of code, browse through it and edit it. I like to consider the library as a big map with lots of fog and we could come and clear up a bit when our projects progress. Tell us about your team?. I would say that the key feature of Quants is working as a team, because it will enable the sharing of knowledge, but also support. So it's a kind of collective emulation that's going to be a booster on a daily basis. The key skill for your job?. For me, the key skill is adaptability
• It's a very warm and friendly environment in which we are encouraged to improve our skills. And it offers a great balance between professional and personal life
