About Beneficient

Beneficient (Nasdaq: BENF) provides liquidity and primary capital solutions, trust and custody services, and technology to holders of alternative assets — including private equity, venture capital, real estate, private credit, and secondary interests. Alongside its financial services business, Beneficient is building alternative asset technology platforms for family offices, small institutions, and lenders.

About the Team

The Quant Engineering and Risk team builds and runs the company’s alternative asset analytics ecosystem end to end — a set of connected pillar platforms covering the alternative-investment decision lifecycle:

ValueAlt — market-calibrated fair-value pricing and advance-rate engine for private fund interests

AltLens — portfolio risk and analytics platform: volatility, beta, value-at-risk, correlation, concentration, and stress testing built on private-market historical returns

AltSignal — AI-enabled fund due-diligence and screening platform

AltDeal — buyer-side acquisition underwriting and capital-structure analysis platform

We are a small team that owns these client-facing products end to end — methodology, model implementation, data pipelines, APIs, and the web applications — on a Python, Vue.js, and AWS cloud stack. AI-assisted development is a core part of how we build, and we invest deliberately and heavily in wiki documentation and cross-training so that knowledge is shared rather than siloed.

Position Summary

The Financial Quantitative Analyst will design, build, validate, and maintain pricing and risk models for private-market assets, with a primary focus on the ValueAlt pricing engine and the AltLens risk engine. The role combines financial engineering with full-stack software development : you will implement models in production code, calibrate them against market data, validate them against realized outcomes, and build the web applications that put them in front of clients.

The role may extend across the wider ecosystem — deal underwriting in AltDeal, screening methodology in AltSignal, and the shared services that connect the products. Seniority and compensation depend on qualifications.

What You’ll Do

Pricing — ValueAlt

Build and maintain cash-flow projection models for private fund interests, including lifecycle event modeling (capital calls, distributions, NAV evolution) and Monte Carlo simulation

Implement and calibrate discount-rate and fair-value methodology against observed secondary-market transaction data

Extend coverage to new vehicle types, including evergreen and interval funds with gated or periodic liquidity

Produce scenario analysis (high / base / low), advance rates, and audit-ready valuation output

Risk — AltLens

Build and maintain the private-market risk factor model: segment-level historical return series, volatility, beta, correlation, value-at-risk, and concentration analytics

Implement historical and hypothetical stress scenarios and portfolio what-if analysis

Develop allocation-versus-limit monitoring and portfolio risk reporting

Across the platforms

Build and maintain the front-end and API layers of the platforms, alongside the models behind them

Run and improve the quarterly production cycle: data pipelines from public filings and commercial providers, model runs, and the reporting that goes to the board and to clients

Validate models through champion–challenger testing, backtesting against realized outcomes, and documented methodology reviews

Document methodology, design decisions, and code so that any team member can pick up any component

Contribute across the other platforms and internal applications as the team’s priorities require

What We’re Looking For

Financial engineering and quantitative foundation — required

Bachelor’s degree in financial engineering, quantitative finance, mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, or a related quantitative field; Master’s preferred

Working command of the core toolkit: time value of money, discounted cash flow, NPV and IRR, volatility and correlation estimation, value-at-risk, Monte Carlo simulation

Solid statistical foundation: regression, time-series analysis, probability distributions, parameter estimation

Ability to read a methodology paper or a fund document and turn it into a working model

Technical — required

1–3 years of professional experience writing production Python, including the scientific stack (NumPy, pandas, SciPy)

1–3 years of SQL experience

Sound object-oriented design and the discipline to write tested, maintainable code

Comfortable in Git-based workflows

Docker containerization and AWS cloud

Preferred

Master’s degree in financial engineering, quantitative finance, or mathematical finance

Exposure to private markets or alternative assets: fund structures, distribution waterfalls, NAV reporting, secondary transactions

Experience with factor models, stress-testing frameworks, or model validation

Familiarity with financial data providers (such as Preqin, PitchBook, Burgiss, and Bloomberg)

Progress toward CFA, FRM, or CAIA

Experience building web applications — front end and API layer — ideally in Vue.js/Flask, or in a comparable framework (React, Node.js, Jinja2, etc.)

CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket pipelines or similar)

Experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) and LLM APIs

Linux

JavaScript

CSS

Working style

Detail-oriented: checks the numbers, tests the edge cases, and doesn’t ship something that hasn’t been verified

Dependable: can be handed a piece of work and trusted to deliver it well independently — and raises a flag early when something is at risk. In a small team, everyone has to be someone the rest can count on.

Collaborative and quick to learn: asks good questions, shares knowledge, reviews others’ work, and picks up whatever the team needs

Takes initiative and ownership: sees what needs doing and does it, owns a component end to end, and documents it so they don’t have to be the only one who knows it

Balances rigor with delivery: cares that the model is right, and also that it ships

Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues
