Compensation and Benefits

About the Role

This opening gives the Detroit, MI hire responsibility for the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures, with operating coverage focused on Eastern Time monitoring of cyclical market conditions and the complete cash session. You will connect research, engineering, trading, and risk without hiding uncertainty or operational tradeoffs.

Detroit Operating Focus

The Detroit opening emphasizes regime awareness, operational resilience, and practical analysis under changing conditions. Cyclical changes can make a relationship appear stable during one period and fail in another. This opening keeps regime assumptions visible and tests decisions under weaker conditions. The operating process also favors resilient controls that continue to work during high volume, missing data, or a sudden change in market behavior. For this role, that means direct ownership of event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during Eastern Time monitoring of cyclical market conditions and the complete cash session.

First Review Cycle

It will establish a measured baseline for event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review before the team proposes an operating change. Two assigned tasks anchor the evidence: Partner with engineering to productionize validated measures; and Document assumptions, failure modes, and regime sensitivity.
