The Data Quality team owns the integrity, completeness, and timeliness of the datasets our Quantitative Researchers and Traders rely on. As a Data Quality Engineer, you design the statistical methods that detect, characterise, and quantify issues in those datasets. Additionally, you own historical datasets that turn raw vendor and internal feeds into pricing-grade inputs and output.\nYour responsibilities\nStatistical methods\nDesign statistical methods from first principles to detect outliers, distribution shifts, stale values, missing values, and inconsistencies across market datasets.\nInvestigate anomalies, quantify their impact on pricing and trading decisions, and communicate findings through written analyses and design documents. \nRefactor and generalise methods as new asset classes and regions expose edge cases.\nHistorical Datasets\nIngest, assess, clean and maintain historical data from various external sources by designing and owning automated pipelines for corrections\nEngage researchers and traders directly on data trust, methodology, and trade-offs.\nCoordinate across curators, quantitative researchers, and developers for each dataset.\nCuration in production\nRoll out new and existing methods to production across regions and asset classes.\nContribute production code in shared libraries\nWhat you bring to the team\n3-5 years working with large-scale financial or scientific datasets.\nA Master's degree in a quantitative discipline (Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics, Physics, or similar).\nStrong Python including the statistical libraries used for time-series analysis and surface fitting.\nComfortable moving between interactive analysis and production code.\nA self-starter who finds the work that must be done, and does it without direction\nDirect stakeholder communication with researchers and traders on data trust.\nIntellectual curiosity about messy real-world market data.\nGenuine interest in financial markets (no prior knowledge or experience is required)\nAbout Us\nIMC is a research-driven trading firm where quantitative modeling, machine learning, and engineering shape how modern markets are traded.
