very relevant in global investment portfolios of sovereign wealth fund,
insurances, pension plans and others. This global institutional client base
benefit from our award-winning investment solutions for their investment
activities while we connect via the CEPRES platform thousands of professionals

CEPRES GmbH / Corp is headquartered in Munich and New York,
with additional offices in Denver, Heidelberg, and several
locations in middle east. Our team is incredibly diverse with over 20
nationalities globally. We value smart and innovative people who also work
effectively in a team environment and who are global players.
We are looking for a quantitative-minded professional
(f/m/x) to join our product team and take ownership of the calculations that
power the CEPRES platform. This is a role with real breadth: you will spend
your early months building a solid foundation by completing the documentation
of the existing calculation library before moving into the more dynamic side of
the job, which involves scoping and prototyping new calculations in close
collaboration with product, engineering, and clients.
The role has a clear growth trajectory. As the
calculations library matures and client demand grows, you will take on a
product ownership function, becoming the go-to person for everything related to
CEPRES calculations. In time, you will manage a dedicated development team that
implements bespoke calculation work for clients. If bandwidth allows, you will
also contribute to our Predictive project — a multi-asset forecasting
initiative that sits at the frontier of private markets analytics.
In this role, you will:
- Documentation (near-term
priority): Audit and document all existing run-time calculations on the CEPRES
platform. Establish clear, consistent documentation standards so that every
current and future calculation is fully described, reproducible, and auditable.
- New calculation development:
Work with the product team to scope, define, and prototype new calculations.
Translate business and client requirements into precise mathematical
specifications ready for engineering implementation.
- Client-facing collaboration:
Act as a technical point of contact for client queries related to calculations.
Explain complex quantitative concepts clearly to both technical and
non-technical stakeholders.
- Predictive project
contribution: When the documentation backlog is clear and no new calculations
requests are pending, contribute to the multi-asset forecasting (Predictive) work stream.
- Team leadership (future
state): As the role grows, build and manage a small development team
responsible for delivering calculation implementations for clients.
