Quantitative Researcher — Portfolio Construction — Seattle

Anemoi is hiring a fully remote Quantitative Researcher — Portfolio Construction based in the Seattle, WA area to build portfolio methods that translate research signals into controlled exposures. The opening is designed for Pacific Time monitoring of the U.S. close and preparation for overnight data workflows.

Compensation and Benefits

About the Role

The Seattle, WA position owns allocation methods, portfolio constraints, concentration limits, turnover controls, and stress diagnostics. Its working schedule covers Pacific Time monitoring of the U.S. close and preparation for overnight data workflows. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

Seattle Operating Focus

The Seattle opening emphasizes resilient analytical systems, asynchronous collaboration, and well-tested operating changes. Pacific Time coverage gives this opening responsibility for the U.S. close and the transition into overnight processing. Asynchronous work must be self-contained: the evidence, decision, limitation, and requested action belong in the same record. Changes to analytical systems require failure tests and a clear return to the last known-good state. For this role, that means direct ownership of portfolio constraints, exposure diagnostics, and stress review during Pacific Time monitoring of the U.S. close and preparation for overnight data workflows.

First Review Cycle

Your first documented cycle for the Seattle, WA opening will test the operating process for portfolio constraints, exposure diagnostics, and stress review during Pacific Time monitoring of the U.S. close and preparation for overnight data workflows. The objective is a reproducible baseline, not a quick narrative. The review joins two pieces of work: Measure turnover, capacity, and stress behavior; and Create transparent diagnostics for portfolio decisions. The Seattle opening emphasizes resilient analytical systems, asynchronous collaboration, and well-tested operating changes. You will document where the results agree, where they differ, and what needs another test. The final record separates completed work, open research, and live operating risk. A reviewer must be able to trace each material decision to allocation methods, portfolio constraints, concentration limits, turnover controls, and stress diagnostics.

Responsibilities

• Develop allocation and risk-budgeting methods
• Model factor, sector, liquidity, and concentration constraints
