About the role

We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.

Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.

Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.

Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.

Why this role is important for us

We are looking to add a senior researcher to the “Axioma by SimCorp” analytics team in London to strengthen and expand our expertise across fixed income, with a particular focus on rates products, inflation and credit curves. Portfolio risk, performance, and construction are core to SimCorp’s analytics offering, and fixed income research expertise is crucial to driving growth in our capabilities. The primary focus of the role is on curve construction methodology and developing factor risk models, with a secondary area of focus being liquidity.

As a senior member of the Analytics Research team, you will be expected to have extensive knowledge of the fixed income markets. Your expertise will help shape research direction, inform product development, and reinforce SimCorp’s credibility through a good understanding of market practice.

Your role will require the ability to work directly with sophisticated portfolio and risk manager clients, who span asset managers, asset owners, and hedge funds, as well as across the SimCorp organization to deliver solutions.

What you will be responsible for

You will take a leading role in delivering SimCorp’s research agenda across rates, inflation credit and liquidity in conjunction with Product Management, Engineering, Sales, and Research senior leadership. This includes leading research topics end‑to‑end, from problem formulation and methodological design through to delivery, validation, and integration into production analytics and risk models.
Your research will include the application of statistical, machine learning, and other data science techniques to extract insights from large and complex datasets. Beyond curve-building, you will be responsible for conducting validation and writing client-ready documentation and white papers.
A core part of the role is ensuring that research insights translate into scalable, robust products. You will work closely with product management and engineering partners, exercising judgment around trade‑offs between analytical sophistication, robustness, and practical usability. You will also contribute to prioritization decisions where analytical depth and business impact must be balanced.
Outside of your core responsibilities, you will also have the opportunity to work on a wide range of fixed income and multi-asset problems as the need arises, often as the result of client requests.
Clear and precise communication is expected, both internally and when representing SimCorp’s analytical capabilities in discussions with clients, partners, and market practitioners.

What we value

This is a mid-senior role, and we value experience accordingly. We expect candidates to bring a strong track record of relevant professional experience in quantitative research, analytics, or modelling applied to fixed income markets. Experience gained in buy‑side, sell‑side, data, or financial technology environments is all relevant, provided it involves sustained engagement with fixed income instruments and their associated analytics.
