About the Role
Farther's trading team is building institutional-grade portfolio management and order management infrastructure. We are seeking a Quant Portfolio Developer to own the analytics layer, focusing on account performance, cost basis, risk modeling, and the quantitative foundation for sophisticated execution. You will collaborate with a small team to create novel systems.
Responsibilities
- Build optimized Python analytics for portfolio measurement at scale, supporting multi-asset books across tens to hundreds of billions in AUM.
- Own cost basis, holdings, and transaction data integrity, including ingesting custodian data and accurately calculating portfolio returns.
- Model portfolio risk across asset classes, including factor, duration, curve, spread, convexity, beta, and options risk exposures.
- Support portfolio construction logic and multi-asset allocation workflows.
- Contribute to execution algorithm development, including market impact measurement and VWAP-style execution analytics.
Requirements
- 3–10 years in portfolio performance, analytics, or construction.
- Deep familiarity with the trade lifecycle: holdings, transactions, corporate actions, cost basis, and reconciliation.
- Multi-asset class experience: equities, fixed income, munis, alternatives, and options.
- Fixed income fundamentals: duration, key-rate duration, spread risk, carry/roll, and laddered or optimized bond construction.
- Derivatives-aware portfolio construction: delta-based exposures, overlays, and options-related risk measures.
- Strong Python skills, comfortable in Jupyter-centric research workflows for exploratory analysis, back-testing, and rapid prototyping.
- AWS experience.
- Experience with PMS or OMS platforms (e.g., Black Diamond, Advent, Charles River).
- Background at a custodian (Schwab, Fidelity) or trading house.
- Familiarity with Black-Litterman, shrinkage estimators, robust optimization, or Bayesian approaches to portfolio construction.
- Familiarity with hierarchical risk parity, equal risk contribution, or other modern allocation frameworks.
