Prototype and validate quantitative workflows end-to-end - from data retrieval and signal construction through to strategy evaluation, PnL simulation, testing, and risk/scenario analysis - while defining how the AI should interact with data sources, analytics libraries, desk-specific tools, etc., and work with engineers to deliver them as production platform capabilities.
