- Build, extend, and maintain frameworks within the platform supporting securitized product lifecycle management, including cash flow generation, prepayment modeling, credit enhancement structures, and tranche-level analytics
- Implement and maintain risk analytics covering interest rate sensitivities (DV01, duration, convexity), spread risk, scenario analysis, and stress testing across structured product portfolios
- Design and develop models for prepayment, default, and loss severity - calibrated to market conventions and client-specific requirements
- Identify and advocate for new models and design patterns necessary for the continuous improvement of an evolving infrastructure to support all clients

- Experience with interest rate modeling (e.g., Hull-White, short rate models) as it applies to structured product valuation
- Prior experience working directly with clients to customize platforms, integrate models, or develop technical solutions
