About the Role

In this Raleigh, NC role, you will be accountable for allocation methods, portfolio constraints, concentration limits, turnover controls, and stress diagnostics while supporting Eastern Time collaboration across quantitative research, data systems, and market operations. The work requires direct communication, explicit limits, and records that remain useful after market conditions change.

Raleigh Operating Focus

The Raleigh opening emphasizes reproducible analysis, strong technical partnerships, and disciplined production review. The opening works across quantitative research, data engineering, and market operations, so interface quality matters as much as individual analysis. Inputs, outputs, owners, and failure behavior must be explicit. Eastern Time coverage also allows a complete production review before results move into an overnight research or data workflow. For this role, that means direct ownership of portfolio constraints, exposure diagnostics, and stress review during Eastern Time collaboration across quantitative research, data systems, and market operations.

First Review Cycle

The Raleigh, NC opening begins with an end-to-end review of portfolio constraints, exposure diagnostics, and stress review during Eastern Time collaboration across quantitative research, data systems, and market operations. The review will keep research observations separate from live production decisions. You will first complete this task: Create transparent diagnostics for portfolio decisions. You will then complete this task: Develop allocation and risk-budgeting methods. The Raleigh opening emphasizes reproducible analysis, strong technical partnerships, and disciplined production review. An unexpected result stays open until the evidence supports a disposition. Before the review closes, you will state what changed, what did not change, and what needs more evidence. A peer must be able to follow the result back 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
• Measure turnover, capacity, and stress behavior
• Create transparent diagnostics for portfolio decisions
• Own portfolio constraints, exposure diagnostics, and stress review during Eastern Time collaboration across quantitative research, data systems, and market operations.

Required Qualifications

• Experience with portfolio optimization and risk models
• Strong numerical Python and optimization skills
• Ability to explain model tradeoffs to researchers and traders

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with transaction-cost-aware optimization and scenario analysis
• Knowledge of production controls for constrained portfolios
• Experience collaborating across time zones while maintaining the operating coverage assigned to the Raleigh, NC opening.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision plan options with substantial company support
• 401(k) plan with company matching
• Flexible paid time off and company holidays
• Paid parental and caregiver leave
• Annual learning, conference, and professional-development budget
• Remote-work equipment and home-office support
• Performance-bonus and equity eligibility based on role and level

Benefits are subject to plan terms and eligibility requirements.
