Compensation and Benefits

About the Role

The San Jose, CA position owns data-source review from provenance and lawful use through leakage-resistant testing and ongoing monitoring. Its working schedule covers Pacific Time review of data-intensive workflows, the U.S. close, and overnight processing. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

San Jose Operating Focus

The San Jose opening emphasizes scalable research systems, measurable latency, and careful release validation. Large datasets and time-sensitive systems need separate measures for correctness, latency, and cost. The opening reviews the U.S. close while also preparing overnight workflows that must be ready before the next session. Production improvements are accepted only when tests show that speed did not weaken point-in-time integrity or auditability. For this role, that means direct ownership of data provenance, availability timing, vendor quality, and leakage controls during Pacific Time review of data-intensive workflows, the U.S. close, and overnight processing.

First Review Cycle

For the first complete work cycle in San Jose, CA, you will use Pacific Time review of data-intensive workflows, the U.S. close, and overnight processing to test how the team measures and escalates changes in data provenance, availability timing, vendor quality, and leakage controls. The cycle requires this task: Design leakage-resistant tests with realistic availability timestamps. A separate check covers this task: Measure incremental value against existing information. The San Jose opening emphasizes scalable research systems, measurable latency, and careful release validation. Neither check can rely only on an informal message or market story. The review closes only after another specialist can reproduce the key checks and identify the evidence behind the outcome for data-source review from provenance and lawful use through leakage-resistant testing and ongoing monitoring.

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 review of data-intensive workflows, the U.S. close, and overnight processing.

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
