About the Role

The central responsibility of the San Diego, CA opening is data-source review from provenance and lawful use through leakage-resistant testing and ongoing monitoring.

Success requires reproducible work, prompt escalation, and clear ownership through review and production use.

San Diego Operating Focus

The San Diego opening emphasizes careful West Coast review and complete handoffs for the next trading day.

It also reviews after-hours results and system behavior before the next day begins. Written handoffs must separate completed work, active risk, and research questions that do not require an immediate trading response. For this role, that means direct ownership of data provenance, availability timing, vendor quality, and leakage controls during Pacific Time coverage of late-session liquidity and post-close validation.
