Base salary: $210,000–$285,000 USD, based on experience

About the Role: In this New York, NY role, you will be accountable for the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures while supporting early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session. The work requires direct communication, explicit limits, and records that remain useful after market conditions change. New York Operating Focus The New York opening emphasizes fast morning escalation, precise market-open review, and complete end-of-day records. Daily work begins before the cash open with overnight-gap review, scheduled-event checks, and clear escalation ownership. Opening and closing auctions receive separate analysis because each can create different liquidity and execution conditions. Post-close records must explain what changed, what remained uncertain, and which issue carries into the next session. For this role, that means direct ownership of event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session. First Review Cycle The New York, NY opening begins with an end-to-end review of event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session. The review will keep research observations separate from live production decisions. The cycle requires this task: Build event-time datasets without look-ahead or survivorship bias. A separate check covers this task: Partner with engineering to productionize validated measures. The New York opening emphasizes fast morning escalation, precise market-open review, and complete end-of-day records. Neither check can rely only on an informal message or market story. The closing record identifies the evidence, approval, limit, and next test. A second specialist must be able to evaluate the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures from the same starting facts.

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 Document assumptions, failure modes, and regime sensitivity Own event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session.
