Job description

WHO WE ARE

DebtBook is the financial platform powering treasury and capital markets across the public sector. State and local governments, public universities, health systems, and the bankers and advisors who serve them run trillions of dollars in debt, cash, and investments on DebtBook.

We've built the most sophisticated treasury platform in public finance — sitting at the intersection of treasury management and a $4 trillion fixed income market that's been waiting for modern infrastructure.

ABOUT THE ROLE

DebtBook is seeking an Associate Quantitative Strategist to join our Quantitative Strategy Group (QSG) and contribute to the team’s work across market data, internal benchmarks, and the development of issuer and professional products. QSG owns DebtBook’s market data and benchmarking capabilities, partners with issuer product teams as a quantitative and technical resource, and leads the development of new professional-facing products.

In this role, you will support senior members of QSG across all of the team’s core work streams - helping evaluate market data providers, building and validating internal benchmarks, contributing to discovery for new issuer and professional applications, and partnering with engineering and product teams to bring features to life. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a quantitative or finance background who wants to apply analytical skills to real product development in fintech.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As an Associate Quantitative Strategist, you will:

• Translate quantitative and product requirements into clear documentation that supports engineering implementation, including required fields, refresh cadence, and intended use

• Develop a working understanding of how each Treasury product functions end-to-end (workflows, data flows, and core user outcomes) to ensure quantitative work integrates cleanly into the broader platform

• Support evaluation and selection of market data providers by comparing coverage, accuracy, timeliness, and licensing across vendors, and documenting trade-offs to inform sourcing decisions

• Assist with the design and implementation of internal benchmarks, including peer grouping logic, normalization rules, sourcing, and measurement intervals

• Validate data outputs and benchmark calculations to ensure accuracy, consistency, and defensibility across DebtBook products

• Partner with engineering teams to test, validate, and monitor data integrations and benchmark generation in a scalable, reliable way

• Contribute to discovery and scoping for issuer-facing and professional-facing applications by gathering market context, conducting research, and summarizing findings to support feature decisions

• Support QSG’s broader research agenda, including evaluation of potential future products and emerging professional markets

WHAT YOU BRING

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related quantitative field

• Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with attention to detail and an eye for data quality

• Foundational understanding of fixed income markets, including yield concepts, common public sector instruments, and how market data informs investment and debt decisions

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey quantitative concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences

• Strong collaboration skills, with a willingness to work across product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to drive shared outcomes

• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

• A coachable and curious mindset with a genuine interest in public finance, treasury, and fintech

• A passion for technology and how it can transform organizations, paired with an empathetic, customer-focused attitude

• Willingness and ability to work full-time in office

OUR “GOAT” VALUES

GROW Continuously

• We believe in continuous improvement, never accepting the status quo as good enough, and iterating to move quickly without compromising on quality.

• We are energized by the fast-paced rate of change that growth demands and see new challenges as opportunities for resilience and personal development.

• We are driven by curiosity to think creatively, innovate, and experiment, and we humbly incorporate lessons learned from success and failure along the journey.

OWN Your Outcomes

• We hold ourselves accountable for exceptional effort, execution, reliability, professionalism, and results that add tremendous value for customers.

• We are all individual contributors, responsible for delivering value to our customers, team, and company with every action we take.

• As managers, we lead by example in both what we do and how we do it, and stay personally familiar with the work as we coach our teams.

• We follow through on our decisions and commitments with action.

ABOVE & Beyond

• We create moments of magic, surprising and delighting our cu
