About the Role

In this San Francisco, CA role, you will be accountable for research infrastructure, point-in-time data integrity, experiment lineage, and reliable numerical workloads while supporting Pacific Time coverage of late-session behavior, system performance, and research handoffs. The work requires direct communication, explicit limits, and records that remain useful after market conditions change.

San Francisco Operating Focus

The San Francisco opening emphasizes strong quantitative engineering links and critical review before production change. The work combines quantitative review with production discipline during the final hours of the U.S. session. System behavior, data quality, and market evidence are assessed separately before a change is proposed. After the close, the opening prepares technical findings that Eastern Time colleagues can evaluate before the next market day. For this role, that means direct ownership of research-platform reliability, experiment lineage, and large time-series workloads during Pacific Time coverage of late-session behavior, system performance, and research handoffs.

First Review Cycle

Your first documented cycle for the San Francisco, CA opening will test the operating process for research-platform reliability, experiment lineage, and large time-series workloads during Pacific Time coverage of late-session behavior, system performance, and research handoffs. The objective is a reproducible baseline, not a quick narrative. The operating test starts with this task: Improve experiment tracking, lineage, and reproducibility. It continues with this task: Optimize large time-series workloads. The San Francisco opening emphasizes strong quantitative engineering links and critical review before production change. The findings must distinguish confirmed evidence from an early explanation. The review is complete when a peer can reproduce the evidence, inspect the decision limit, and trace the outcome through research infrastructure, point-in-time data integrity, experiment lineage, and reliable numerical workloads.

Responsibilities

  • Develop reusable data and backtest infrastructure
  • Improve experiment tracking, lineage, and reproducibility
  • Optimize large time-series workloads
  • Add tests that detect leakage and inconsistent data vintages
  • Own research-platform reliability, experiment lineage, and large time-series workloads during Pacific Time coverage of late-session behavior, system performance, and research handoffs.

Required Qualifications

  • Production Python and SQL experience
  • Strong knowledge of distributed data systems and numerical workloads
  • Experience supporting quantitative researchers

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with workflow orchestration, columnar data, and cloud research environments
  • A record of improving speed without weakening correctness or auditability
