Lead Quantitative Developer

📍 Patna 🏷️ Software Development 💰 ₹213,500 / month

About the Role

Boring Road in Patna has a Lead Quantitative Developer opening, full time, on site, with a team building financial models and trading-adjacent systems. Twelve years of experience is the expectation, and the pay reflects it: this is one of the higher-compensated technical roles in this batch, calling for genuine depth across both software engineering and quantitative finance.

A Day in This Job

The work covers implementing new features based on project requirements, debugging and resolving technical issues, documenting work for future reference, and participating in code reviews, all in a domain where a subtle bug in a financial model can have real monetary consequences rather than just an inconvenient user complaint.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Design and implement quantitative models using Python or C++
  • Debug and resolve issues in financial modeling code
  • Document modeling assumptions and methodology clearly
  • Review code from other developers on the quantitative team

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with practical, hands-on project experience and demonstrated proficiency in the relevant languages, tools, and frameworks. Twelve years combined with genuine statistics and financial modeling depth is a real bar, and the team is specifically looking for someone who's shipped models that were actually used to make decisions, not just built academically.

Skills That Matter

  • Python or C++ at an advanced level
  • Statistics, applied rather than purely theoretical
  • Financial modeling
  • Algorithm design and optimization

Good to Have

Experience with a specific quantitative finance library or framework, familiarity with backtesting methodology and its common pitfalls, and any background where a model's real-world performance diverged from backtested expectations, and what that taught you.

Why This Role

Boring Road's growing tech corridor in Patna has attracted a handful of specialized technical teams, and this quantitative development role is a genuinely rare kind of opportunity outside the major financial hubs. Naukri Mitra has listed a small number of roles from this employer, and the lead developer position specifically carries real modeling authority, not just implementation of someone else's specification.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a technical round on algorithms and statistics, plus a discussion of a past quantitative model you've built. Candidates who can honestly discuss where a past model fell short in practice tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
  • Paid time off
  • Performance-linked bonuses
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Patna
