About The Position

We are seeking a talented and motivated Quant Developer to join our team at Saxo Bank’s headquarters in Copenhagen. In this role, you will contribute to the development of our multi-purpose, multi-asset, efficient and high-performing quant library SupaPhly. This powerful tool serves as the backbone of our risk management framework, supporting everything from trading desks to risk and collateral management, as well as providing valuable functionality to our international clients on the Saxo platform and our global partners. SupaPhly is central to Saxo Bank’s mission of building a world-class, unified risk management system that benefits all departments, clients, and partners. SupaPhly is developed in-house by a collaborative team of quants and developers, written in modern C++, and optimized for performance using advanced techniques such as vectorization, multi-threading, Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation (AAD), domain-specific languages, expression templates, and sophisticated Monte Carlo methods. As the core of our risk management infrastructure, SupaPhly handles all financial calculations across the bank, supporting departments from front to back. Our ongoing projects include distributed calculations, risk assessment for client portfolios, portfolio valuations under stressed scenarios, development of a Python API, and more. The systems around us are primarily built in C#, with interfaces leveraging gRPC and protocol buffers. Our software is deployed on both Windows and Linux platforms.
