About this role
About the Portfolio Analytics Group (PAG):
Join the Portfolio Analytics Group (PAG), a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary team of in-house, forward-deployed engineers and data scientists at the forefront of applied analytics at BlackRock.
As part of the Aladdin Financial Engineering (AFE) division, PAG develops and deploys advanced analytical solutions that integrate Aladdin's technology platform, financial models, and data to solve complex, real-world investment challenges. These solutions are used by portfolio managers and risk professionals across BlackRock to support investment decisions, contributing to outcomes such as improved portfolio positioning and winning client mandates. The team works across the full breadth of asset classes-including equities, fixed income, derivatives, and private markets-reflecting the diversity and scale of investment strategies we support.
Role Overview:
We are seeking high-performing individuals to design, build, and deploy next-generation analytical tools that sit alongside and extend the Aladdin platform to enhance investment workflows. These capabilities support a wide range of use cases, including portfolio construction, investment research, relative value analysis, and increasingly, AI-enabled decision support.
This role involves working closely with investment teams to identify high-impact opportunities, rapidly prototype ideas, and iterate based on real-world feedback. The focus is on translating complex analytical capabilities into intuitive, fit-for-purpose solutions that integrate seamlessly into how investment teams operate.
Successful candidates will wear multiple hats, acting as hands-on analytics developers, internal technology advocates, and business-oriented project managers. On the technical side, they will demonstrate a strong aptitude for learning our proprietary technology ecosystem, and for working with various programming languages and technology stacks. They should also possess technical fluency in AI, Python, and database languages, along with experience building end-to-end analytical applications. Equally important are the ability to engage effectively with stakeholders and a solid understanding of financial markets and instruments.
