Junior Model Developer Bank Wide Market and Operational Risk Modelling Team

Show

The team

IRRBB Squad is one of the four Amsterdam-based squads within WBMORM team. We develop and maintain interest rate, valuation, and income models for the banking book scope, be it for ING’s target ALM system or the in-house Python-based simulation platform. We are a diverse group of six motivated individuals, and we collaborate closely with the Risk Hub ALM team based in Warsaw.

Roles and responsibilities

We are looking for a candidate to strengthen our team in the modelling of interest rates. This is related to - among others - term structure modelling, multi-tenor frameworks, stochastic valuation, the differentiation between interest rate and credit spread risk in valuation, etc. The role demands not only a solid theoretical background but also the capability to independently build models in our Python libraries with limited supervision.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Work on developing and maintaining ALM models, including data input, model calibration, and scenario analysis

  • Collaborate with the team to develop ING’s interest rate, valuation, and income models and to further develop the in-house modelling platform

  • Conduct sensitivity analysis and stress testing of the ALM models to assess the impact of various risk factors on the financial projections

  • Analyse the results to identify potential areas of risk or opportunity

  • Participate and sometimes lead the end-to-end model (re-)development process

  • Prepare presentations and reports for internal stakeholders

How to succeed

We hire smart people like you for your potential. Our biggest expectation is that you’ll stay curious. Keep learning. Take on responsibility. In return, we’ll back you to develop into an even more awesome version of yourself.

In order to succeed the following requirements are a must:

  • An academic degree (MSc or PhD), quantitative studies such as Econometrics, Mathematics, Engineering & Physics.

  • Proven experience in quantitative model development within a financial institution (typically 0 - 2) years or equivalent demonstrated expertise).

  • Experience as model developer or model owner of interest rate models (e.g. term structure, stochastic models, valuation frameworks).

  • Understanding of the concept of valuation, in the perspective of IRRBB and CSRBB.

  • Proven experience with object-oriented software development in large-scale systems, beyond standalone (Python) scripts.

  • Experience with Rust for performance optimisation.

Additionally, you should be:

  • Proactive and analytical

  • Open and strong in communication

  • Problem solving and determined to finish on time
