Your Team Responsibilities

You will be part of a high-performing technology team that supports MSCI’s risk and analytics platform. Our team focuses on building and maintaining sophisticated models, simulations, and visualization tools that enable clients to make informed investment decisions. Collaborating closely with researchers, quantitative analysts, and software engineers, we translate cutting-edge financial theories into scalable, reliable, and maintainable technology solutions using MATLAB and other programming languages.

We work in a fast-paced, globally distributed environment and contribute to the development of robust financial analytics products that are trusted by some of the largest institutional investors worldwide.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain MATLAB-based models, tools, and libraries for financial risk, portfolio optimization, or quantitative research.
• Develop code in Python and related ecosystem
• Translate complex quantitative and statistical models into efficient, scalable MATLAB code for use in production systems.
• Collaborate with data science, research, and engineering teams to validate and optimize model performance.
• Interface with other programming environments (e.g., Python, C++, or Java) for integration into broader application stacks.
• Ensure high standards of software engineering practices including unit testing, version control, documentation, and performance tuning.
• Investigate and resolve production issues related to MATLAB components in collaboration with support teams.

Your skills and experience that will help you excel

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Financial Engineering, or related fields.
• 3–6 years of hands-on experience in MATLAB programming, including algorithm development, numerical methods, and data visualization.
• Strong understanding of object-oriented programming and MATLAB toolboxes (e.g., Statistics and Machine Learning, Optimization, Financial Toolbox).
• Experience working in financial services or with financial data is highly preferred.
• Familiarity with Python or Java or C++ is a strong plus.
