Compensation and Benefits

About the Role

This opening gives the Charlotte, NC hire responsibility for the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures, with operating coverage focused on Eastern Time coverage of pre-market controls, the cash session, and close reconciliation. You will connect research, engineering, trading, and risk without hiding uncertainty or operational tradeoffs.

Charlotte Operating Focus

The Charlotte opening emphasizes controlled financial operations, risk escalation, and complete decision records. The daily process begins with control checks and ends with reconciliation of decisions, exposures, and unresolved exceptions. Live issues move through a defined escalation path rather than an informal message chain. This opening must keep research evidence, production action, and risk approval distinct even when the market requires a fast response. For this role, that means direct ownership of event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during Eastern Time coverage of pre-market controls, the cash session, and close reconciliation.

First Review Cycle

The Charlotte, NC opening begins with an end-to-end review of event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during Eastern Time coverage of pre-market controls, the cash session, and close reconciliation. The review will keep research observations separate from live production decisions. The cycle requires this task: Partner with engineering to productionize validated measures. A separate check covers this task: Document assumptions, failure modes, and regime sensitivity. The Charlotte opening emphasizes controlled financial operations, risk escalation, and complete decision records. Neither check can rely only on an informal message or market story. The cycle ends with a short decision record, its limit, the next check, and each unresolved question. Another specialist must be able to trace the work through the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures.
