Investment Engineering is a hub group touching numerous areas of the implementation of the investment process and interacting with most other departments within Dimensional. Within Investment Engineering, the Analytics Platforms team creates tools, content, and reporting for clients to understand Dimensional’s products and analyze how they might fit inside a client’s portfolio. Responsibilities: Our team seeks an intellectual and creative candidate within the Investment Engineering Analytics Platforms area to work on key projects spanning portfolio analytics and client applications within Dimensional. Success in the role will mean learning both the big picture and nuance of Dimensional’s investment philosophy and how it translates into the implementation of an investment process. Strong intellectual curiosity combined with an ability to dig into details is a prerequisite. The work is team-based and involves designing and managing a global framework and process for GIPS and regulatory reporting. Success in the job, including career progression, will be driven by successfully maintaining and innovating in these frameworks and executing on projects to enhance and improve Dimensional’s global reporting processes. Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree, ideally in computer science, mathematics, engineering, economics – show us you have a capacity for and interest in quantitative work. Experience with programming in one or more languages, though python is highly considered – demonstrate the ability to code, solve problems programmatically, and perform data analysis. CFA or experience in GIPS is highly considered. Understanding of financial markets and desire to learn more – know what Dimensional does. Experience with databases and large data sets – show you can work with and analyze data to provide meaningful results, as much of the job involves pulling data from databases and performing analysis.
