The Python role is for US ETF business. Improving risk optimization and portfolio-management processes, replacing scattered Excel workbooks and Python scripts with technology-managed, scalable tools. Aladdin and the BONY platform remain key applications; current workflows also involve user-built tools and third parties such as Barra and Axioma.
\n
The strongest fit combines strong Python and SQL with front-office portfolio-management experience and an understanding of portfolio construction, optimization, and associated data feeds. ETF knowledge is a significant plus, as is Barra or Axioma experience, but Sandeep said experience in another asset class can transfer. The business is multi-asset, with equities its largest area, followed by fixed income, commodities, and digital; ETFs span those areas.
