# Quantitative Analyst assigned to your roadmap.

A Quantitative Analyst builds mathematical models for pricing, risk and forecasting, usually in finance, insurance or logistics where the numbers carry real exposure.

Assigned under one service agreement with a minimum monthly capacity in hours, run by a service delivery manager in Chiang Mai, Thailand — five hours ahead of Northern Europe.

Part of our service line

[Data science](https://azendo.co/services/data-science/) 

This role is delivered as part of our data science services. Take the role on its own, or the whole discipline as one delivery team.

## What a Quantitative Analyst does on a data science team.

Skills and scope are agreed before delivery starts, so the first sprint is productive rather than a ramp-up month. The work runs to the same backlog, the same repositories and the same definition of done as your own team's.

### Quantitative Analyst skills and technology we assign for

* [Python](https://azendo.co/skills/python/)
* [R](https://azendo.co/skills/r/)
* [MATLAB](https://azendo.co/skills/matlab/)
* [C++](https://azendo.co/skills/cpp/)
* [NumPy](https://azendo.co/skills/numpy/)
* [SciPy](https://azendo.co/skills/scipy/)
* [QuantLib](https://azendo.co/skills/quantlib/)
* [time series analysis](https://azendo.co/skills/time-series-analysis/)
* [Monte Carlo simulation](https://azendo.co/skills/monte-carlo-simulation/)
* [stochastic modelling](https://azendo.co/skills/stochastic-modelling/)
* [risk metrics](https://azendo.co/skills/risk-metrics/)
* [model validation and backtesting](https://azendo.co/skills/model-validation-and-backtesting/)

* Building pricing, risk and forecasting models with documented assumptions.
* Backtesting and sensitivity analysis, so a model's limits are known before it is trusted.
* Producing the documentation that model validation and audit will ask for.
* Stress testing models against historical scenarios and documenting where they break down.
* Maintaining model documentation to the standard your validation function expects.

## Seniority levels we assign.

Senior. Model risk in this field is commercial risk, and it needs experience. Seniority is one of the inputs in [how the monthly fee is built](https://azendo.co/pricing/).

## When a Quantitative Analyst is the right assignment.

Specialist assignment, most common in financial services and insurance engagements. On an ongoing roadmap this role is most often assigned alongside a Data Scientist or a Data Analyst. All 4 roles in this service line can sit on the same agreement, and capacity moves between them at the monthly cycle rather than requiring a new contract. It is one of the assignments that make up [data science](https://azendo.co/services/data-science/) at Azendo.

## Questions about assigning a Quantitative Analyst.

Can your models pass model validation? 

They are built with documentation, assumptions and backtesting evidence for that purpose. We will ask about your validation standard at scoping.

Which sectors do you work in? 

Mostly financial services, insurance and logistics, where pricing and risk models carry real exposure.

## Add quantitative analyst capacity to your roadmap.

Tell us the scope and the stack. We come back with the profile, the capacity and what the first month looks like, or you can [talk to a service delivery manager](https://azendo.co/get-in-touch/) first.
