Roles and responsibilities

As a Model Developer, you will design and implement methodologies that underpin ING’s trading risk framework. Your work will directly influence risk management and valuation practices across the bank. You will:

• Design Counterparty Credit Risk models (PFE/EAD modelling and backtesting procedures) and implement them in our benchmark library.

• Perform production system implementation checks or implement models directly in production systems.

• Develop valuation adjustment models to account for model risk uncertainty in XVA and implement these adjustments in production.

• Design and implement model monitoring methodologies.

• Contribute to Trading Risk methodologies, such as VaR scenario specifications and Risk Not in Model.

• Provide quantitative support to risk managers and traders, integrating new products and pricing models into existing frameworks.

• Develop tools to analyze model choices and methodologies for P&L explainers or market data proxies.
