Senior Quantitative Researcher — Market Microstructure — Portland

Based in the Portland, OR area, this fully remote Senior Quantitative Researcher — Market Microstructure will research intraday price formation, liquidity, and execution behavior across U.S. equities. The operating schedule centers on Pacific Time supervision of late-session behavior and asynchronous research delivery.

Compensation and Benefits

About the Role

The Portland, OR position owns the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures. Its working schedule covers Pacific Time supervision of late-session behavior and asynchronous research delivery. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

Portland Operating Focus

The Portland opening emphasizes thoughtful written review, durable remote collaboration, and careful production change. Much of the collaboration is asynchronous, so written work must explain the question, method, evidence, and limitation without relying on verbal context. Pacific Time coverage includes the market close and later validation. A proposed production change is not ready until another specialist can reproduce the result and challenge its assumptions. For this role, that means direct ownership of event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during Pacific Time supervision of late-session behavior and asynchronous research delivery.

First Review Cycle

The initial Portland, OR review combines Pacific Time supervision of late-session behavior and asynchronous research delivery with a controlled examination of event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review. Each material observation needs a source, a time, and a defined owner. Your initial work includes this task: Design studies of spreads, depth, impact, auction behavior, and short-horizon price response. It also includes this task: Build event-time datasets without look-ahead or survivorship bias. The Portland opening emphasizes thoughtful written review, durable remote collaboration, and careful production change. The review must preserve the timing and source of each important input. The cycle ends with a short decision record, its limit, the next check, and each unresolved question. Another specialist must be able to trace the work through the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures.

Responsibilities

• Design studies of spreads, depth, impact, auction behavior, and short-horizon price response
• Build event-time datasets without look-ahead or survivorship bias
• Partner with engineering to productionize validated measures
