About BlackRock
At BlackRock, we are all connected by one mission: to help more and more people experience financial well-being. Our clients, and the people they serve, are saving for retirement, paying for their children's educations, buying homes and starting businesses. Their investments also help to strengthen the global economy: support businesses small and large; finance infrastructure projects that connect and power cities; and facilitate innovations that drive progress.
This mission would not be possible without our smartest investment - the one we make in our employees. It's why we're dedicated to creating an environment where our colleagues feel welcomed, valued and supported with networks, benefits and development opportunities to help them thrive.

About this role
Security Modeling Associate
Single Security Pricing (SSP) is a small, close-knit team with a collegiate culture that values openness, creativity and an attention to detail bordering on the fanatical. We are also huge nerds.
Responsibilities of the role
- Quantitative Modeling: Expand product and market coverage in the private credit business to address evolving client needs by researching, implementing and rolling out new models and analytics.
- Maintain and improve existing interest rate, inflation, FX, synthetic credit and equity derivatives models.
- Model Infrastructure: Design APIs to provide clients with novel ways of maximizing our models. Refactor existing analytical code to make it more modular and scalable.
- Analytical Support: Participate in external client calls and on-site visits in support of the BRS business.
- Thought Leadership: Stay ahead of recent trends in technology, quantitative finance, capital markets and regulation. Bring the latest techniques to bear on the problems we face in our day-to-day work.
What We Look For
- A Degree in a Quantitative Field: An undergraduate degree is required. An advanced degree is a plus, but experience matters far more than formal qualifications.
- A Passion for Programming: Programming is at the heart of everything we do. You must enjoy it to succeed on this team.
- Exposure to an "industrial strength" Programming Language: While C++ is our language of choice, experience with writing performant code is what we're after.
- An Analytical Cast of Mind: Whether you have a PhD in Physics or merely read math books for fun (we have both types on the team), a keen curiosity about solving analytical problems is key.
- Excellent Interpersonal Skills: You will be encouraged to explain sophisticated concepts to non-technical people in simple, intuitive terms.
- A Sense of Humor: We don't take ourselves too seriously, and hopefully neither do you.
