This role is open globally to full-time contractors who can work standard Central European Time (CET) hours.
Tasks
Bridge Between Research, Product, and Engineering: Act as the bridge between research, product, and engineering teams; grasp the research-to-production lifecycle of how research becomes a prototype, and a prototype becomes a robust, production-grade system; ensure that financial models and research outputs are accurately and effectively implemented within the platform.
Financial Modeling Integration: Collaborate with the tech team to integrate advanced financial modeling capabilities into our platform; translate complex financial models into actionable technical requirements for developers; ensure that financial models are accurately and effectively implemented within the platform.

Reporting and Communication: Prepare comprehensive reports to document findings in a professional and concise manner; apply critical thinking to interpret data and clearly communicate implications to stakeholders.
