About the Role

The Louisville, KY position owns a falsifiable research idea from point-in-time data construction through out-of-sample evaluation. Its working schedule covers Eastern Time coordination of daily research checks, live decisions, and final reconciliation. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

Louisville Operating Focus

The Louisville opening emphasizes repeatable controls, well-defined ownership, and concise cross-functional review. The day starts with a short list of required research and operating checks rather than a broad status meeting. Live exceptions use defined severity and ownership rules. Final reconciliation closes completed work, preserves evidence for material decisions, and prevents an unresolved item from disappearing when responsibility moves to another person. For this role, that means direct ownership of equity-signal validation, sector diagnostics, and regime review during Eastern Time coordination of daily research checks, live decisions, and final reconciliation.

First Review Cycle

For the first complete work cycle in Louisville, KY, you will use Eastern Time coordination of daily research checks, live decisions, and final reconciliation to test how the team measures and escalates changes in equity-signal validation, sector diagnostics, and regime review. One required check is: Present both favorable and unfavorable results to the investment team. The next required check is: Form hypotheses and build clean point-in-time equity datasets. The Louisville opening emphasizes repeatable controls, well-defined ownership, and concise cross-functional review. You will identify any assumption that remains untested after both checks. Completion requires a repeatable evidence path, a clear response boundary, and a time for the next check. Those records must connect directly to a falsifiable research idea from point-in-time data construction through out-of-sample evaluation.

Responsibilities

• Form hypotheses and build clean point-in-time equity datasets
• Test signal stability, turnover, capacity, and transaction-cost sensitivity
• Run walk-forward and out-of-sample evaluation
• Present both favorable and unfavorable results to the investment team
• Own equity-signal validation, sector diagnostics, and regime review during Eastern Time coordination of daily research checks, live decisions, and final reconciliation.

Required Qualifications

• Three or more years in quantitative research, data science, or systematic investing
• Python and SQL proficiency with strong probability and statistics
• Clear understanding of backtest bias and model validation

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with equity factors, corporate actions, and point-in-time fundamentals
• A record of moving research into monitored production use
• Experience collaborating across time zones while maintaining the operating coverage assigned to the Louisville, KY 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.
