Credit Strats are looking for a talented individual to work on the macro suite of products within Credit, including indices, options, tranches, ETF and TRS. The team works on pricing, analytics, tools and infrastructure. The group is geared towards creative design of a trading environment which is precise, controlled, and profitable.

You will contribute to the group in a technical and analytical capacity, with slightly more emphasis on the former. The group has many opportunities in trading, and needs strong footing in the applications, systems, and infrastructure that form the base of our contributions. Your primary role will be in designing and extending these systems. You will need to build and contribute to our analytics as well, for which these technologies serve as a conduit, and we'd estimate a 70/30 split between the two. You will be impactful from day 1, and will learn how to organize and run a trading business.
