Leverages our state-of-the-art financial models and our extensive datasets across the company and liaises with the different stakeholders for its productization.
In this role you will be hands-on and you will evaluate current literature, participate in the research community, and develop solutions in partnership with domain experts across the company.You are expected to have an elevated level of autonomy, capacity to learn new skills and domains including advanced scientific and technical concepts quickly and with minimal direction, along with demonstrated experience in teaching others. We are looking for a person who is passionate about quantum computing and its implications on the financial industry.
Strong technical skills and a demonstrated ability to learn new concepts is important for this position. Experience in both quantum computing and software development is essential.
Your Role will:
» Own and lead the conception and delivery of novel solutions to problems faced by internal project teams.
» Develop new and continually improve existing Quantum Algorithms for specific applications, in the team and in collaboration with external partners. Lead and manage the quantum innovation portfolio and pipeline, understanding the internal and external customer and business needs in order to recommend solutions where a quantum or quantum inspired approach may be optimal.
» Provide guidance to other groups throughout Moody’s Analytics on best practices and advanced techniques.
» Contribute to Moody’s IP by developing innovative solutions and use cases in collaboration with our partners and clients. The goal is to transform scientific research into business value.
» Write white papers and build and maintain relationships with the external academic community and business community.
» Consistently scan the market / competitors / partners / research, lead client engagements to understand challenges that they are trying to address, and meet with external partners to bring new ideas and technologies to Moody’s Analytics.
