About the Role

In this Dallas, TX role, you will be accountable for the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures while supporting Central Time coordination of market-open decisions and cross-team risk review. The work requires direct communication, explicit limits, and records that remain useful after market conditions change.

Dallas Operating Focus

The Dallas opening emphasizes measurable controls, prompt escalation, and reliable links between research and production. The operating day joins pre-market readiness, live risk review, and production follow-through. This opening must make cross-team decisions measurable by recording the trigger for escalation, the person who approved the response, and the condition that ends it. Routine work should be automated only after its failure behavior is understood.
