Pubblicato il 19-08-2026 - GENERALI ITALIA in Italia
The Investment Data Science team is part of the Generali Asset Management Investment Function. The team develops and coordinates projects and initiatives that leverage data science techniques to enhance investment strategies.
As an IT Developer within the Front Office, the candidate will work, within the Investment Data Science team, on refactoring and potentially improving the code of a quantitative investment strategy currently applied to tactical asset allocation and equity sector allocation.

The primary task over the next six months is to understand and enhance the code, making it more versatile, faster, and intuitive.
- Structurally reorganize the code to ensure that the two main workflows (monthly outputs and annual reviews) are testable and free from obsolete implementations
- Automate the generation of output slides using updated market data
- Automate the storage and backup of data and historical results
- Conduct testing campaigns of the methodology on various multi-asset portfolios
