  • Contribute to the risk appetite framework, translate it into risk limits, and monitor market and liquidity risk metrics against them
  • Help design and document risk methodologies in line with Mexican and Basel requirements, accounting for the characteristics of financial instruments
  • Use SQL and Python to automate risk calculations, reporting and dashboards using DWH data
  • Investigate deviations in risk metrics, analyze their drivers, and communicate findings clearly to stakeholders to support risk management decisions

What makes you a great fit

  • Education in mathematics, computer science, physics, or economics with a strong quantitative focus
  • Strong knowledge of probability and mathematical statistics
  • Algorithmic thinking and the ability to translate a problem into code
  • Basic SQL and Python skills, including familiarity with NumPy and pandas
  • Understanding of fundamental accounting principles
  • B2 or higher English level for effective communication with an international team
  • Independence, self-organization, and an interest in developing expertise in financial risk

Your bonus skills

  • Understanding of financial markets, options, swaps, forwards, and financial mathematics involving stochastic processes
  • Experience in market risk, liquidity risk, asset and liability management (ALM), or banking regulatory risk
  • FRM or CFA qualifications

Our ways of working

  • Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions
  • Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication
  • Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community
  • Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together
  • High-Tech Environment: a team full of smart and revolutionary people who dare to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances

Our benefits

  • Relocation support to Georgia with assistance for the employee and their family
  • Flexible work from one of our offices or remotely within time zones from GMT-2 to GMT+5
