Our financial technology platform has transformed how advisors, wealth management firms, asset managers, and banks evaluate and recommend bespoke public and private market strategies for their high-net-worth clients. iCapital services approximately $70 billion in global client assets invested in close to 750 funds across more than 125,000 underlying accounts.

iCapital was named Solutions Provider of the Year at the 2020 MMI/Barron’s Industry Awards and selected to the 2018, 2019 and 2020 Forbes FinTech 50, a list of the top 50 innovative financial technology companies that are transforming finance through technology.

About the Role

The Quant team’s goal is to deliver industry-leading analytical insights that help financial advisors and investors managing their multi-asset portfolios and utilizing alternative assets to meet their long-term investment objects. The team consists of Quantitative Researchers and Quantitative Developers to research, define, and implement models that will guide clients in portfolio construction, asset allocation, and risk management.

The Quant Developers have a core mission of developing robust and scalable quantitative models to deliver portfolio risk analytics capabilities as part of the firm’s commercial technology platform for financial advisors and asset managers. The team members will implement statistical, machine learning, and quantitative financial models, applied to a combination of proprietary, public, and third-party data, to deliver analytics for multi-asset portfolios including alternative assets such as hedge fund, private equity, private credit, real estate, and digital assets.

Responsibilities

  • Develop robust and scalable quantitative financial models and collaborate closely with quant researchers to productionize proprietary risk analytics models as part of the firm’s software platform
  • Develop centralized financial calculation engines powering the firm’s commercial technology platform
  • Document and communicate quantitative methodologies and analytics to others including stakeholders and clients
  • Collaborate with other teams to ensure risk analytics are delivered through the software platform with excellent user experience

Qualifications

  • 1+ year of professional experience in quantitative financial modeling, data science, or software development
  • Expertise in implementing statistical analysis, machine learning, or financial modeling with Python, and proficiency in full-stack software development 
  • Ability to work in a dynamic and fast-paced environment

FURTHER THE BUSINESS
Exploring opportunities to innovate
“My favorite element of iCapital’s culture is its dedication to innovation,” said SVP of Technology Shay Hasnat. And that commitment is underscored by a current project about which Hasnat is excited: bringing together multiple applications into what Hasnat called a “unified platform” that will help users engage with a breadth of investment vehicles. It’s a project that Hasnat said has both big potential for users and iCapital. “It unlocks our ability to innovate and reproduce success in one part of the business by leveraging the technologies and services created by another,” Hasnat said.

INVESTING IN THE TEAM
Professional growth you can bank on
Lateral moves can facilitate big growth. That’s the case for finance leader Ilona Herbst, who spent her starting years at iCapital as executive assistant to CEO Lawrence Calcano — which Herbst called “a uniquely privileged opportunity” — before moving to corporate finance a few years ago. “iCapital culture is to promote from within. The flexibility of the company enabled me to grow into the new role and to develop new processes and workflows,” she said. Further, Herbst said recent career path dialogue with her managers touched on certifications to obtain for supporting her career.

I feel encouraged by management and their support of my career path and the ability to openly discuss it.
