Compensation and Benefits

About the Role

The San Francisco, CA position owns data-source review from provenance and lawful use through leakage-resistant testing and ongoing monitoring. Its working schedule covers Pacific Time coverage of late-session behavior, system performance, and research handoffs. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

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 data provenance, availability timing, vendor quality, and leakage controls during Pacific Time coverage of late-session behavior, system performance, and research handoffs.

First Review Cycle

The initial San Francisco, CA review combines Pacific Time coverage of late-session behavior, system performance, and research handoffs 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. Your initial work includes this task: Design leakage-resistant tests with realistic availability timestamps. It also includes this task: Measure incremental value against existing information. The San Francisco opening emphasizes strong quantitative engineering links and critical review before production change. The review must preserve the timing and source of each important input. The closing record identifies the evidence, approval, limit, and next test. A second specialist must be able to evaluate data-source review from provenance and lawful use through leakage-resistant testing and ongoing monitoring from the same starting facts.

Responsibilities

• 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 Pacific Time coverage of late-session behavior, system performance, and research handoffs.

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 San Francisco, CA opening.
