About the Role
This opening gives the San Diego, CA hire responsibility for live cross-asset exposure, instrument-specific mechanics, funding, rolls, execution, and incident controls, with operating coverage focused on Pacific Time coverage of late-session liquidity and post-close validation. You will connect research, engineering, trading, and risk without hiding uncertainty or operational tradeoffs.
San Diego Operating Focus
The San Diego opening emphasizes careful West Coast review and complete handoffs for the next trading day. This opening concentrates on the later part of the U.S. session, when liquidity can change quickly around the close. 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 cross-asset exposure, funding and roll events, execution quality, and venue-specific risk during Pacific Time coverage of late-session liquidity and post-close validation.
First Review Cycle
For the first complete work cycle in San Diego, CA, you will use Pacific Time coverage of late-session liquidity and post-close validation to test how the team measures and escalates changes in cross-asset exposure, funding and roll events, execution quality, and venue-specific risk. Two assigned tasks anchor the evidence: Manage live exposures and instrument-specific risk limits; and Review execution quality, funding, rolls, and calendar effects. The San Diego opening emphasizes careful West Coast review and complete handoffs for the next trading day. The record must show how each result affected the review.
