About the Role

The central responsibility of the Atlanta, GA opening is data-source review from provenance and lawful use through leakage-resistant testing and ongoing monitoring. The assigned window includes Eastern Time coordination of pre-market readiness and full-session operating decisions. Success requires reproducible work, prompt escalation, and clear ownership through review and production use.

Atlanta Operating Focus

The Atlanta opening emphasizes scalable processes, fast cross-team communication, and strong production accountability. Eastern Time coverage begins with production readiness and continues through the complete U.S. cash session. The opening coordinates fast responses across research, engineering, trading, and risk while keeping decision authority clear. Repeated manual work is converted into a documented control only after its inputs and failure cases are understood. For this role, that means direct ownership of data provenance, availability timing, vendor quality, and leakage controls during Eastern Time coordination of pre-market readiness and full-session operating decisions.

First Review Cycle

The initial Atlanta, GA review combines Eastern Time coordination of pre-market readiness and full-session operating decisions with a controlled examination of data provenance, availability timing, vendor quality, and leakage controls. Each material observation needs a source, a time, and a defined owner. The cycle requires this task: Assess provenance, coverage, revisions, latency, and licensing limits. A separate check covers this task: Design leakage-resistant tests with realistic availability timestamps. The Atlanta opening emphasizes scalable processes, fast cross-team communication, and strong production accountability. Neither check can rely only on an informal message or market story. Before the review closes, you will state what changed, what did not change, and what needs more evidence. A peer must be able to follow the result back to data-source review from provenance and lawful use through leakage-resistant testing and ongoing monitoring.

  • Assess provenance, coverage, revisions, latency, and licensing limits
  • Design leakage-resistant tests with realistic availability timestamps
  • Measure incremental value against existing information
  • Maintain data-quality and vendor-monitoring controls
  • Own data provenance, availability timing, vendor quality, and leakage controls during Eastern Time coordination of pre-market readiness and full-session operating decisions.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience researching large, messy, time-indexed datasets
  • Python, SQL, experimental design, and data-lineage skills
  • Sound judgment about privacy, licensing, and data leakage

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience conducting vendor diligence and dataset acceptance testing
  • Ability to identify revisions, survivorship effects, and hidden availability delays
  • Experience collaborating across time zones while maintaining the operating coverage assigned to the Atlanta, GA opening.

  • 401(k) plan with company matching
  • Flexible paid time off and company holidays
