About the Role

This opening gives the Phoenix, AZ hire responsibility for a falsifiable research idea from point-in-time data construction through out-of-sample evaluation, with operating coverage focused on year-round Mountain Standard Time coverage as national clock alignments change. You will connect research, engineering, trading, and risk without hiding uncertainty or operational tradeoffs.

Phoenix Operating Focus

The Phoenix opening emphasizes explicit handoff rules during daylight-saving changes and dependable afternoon review. Arizona does not observe daylight-saving time, so the relationship between local hours and other U.S. teams changes during the year. This opening owns a written clock-change checklist for meetings, market events, alerts, and shift transfers. The objective is simple: no missed review or unclear owner because another region moved its clock. For this role, that means direct ownership of equity-signal validation, sector diagnostics, and regime review during year-round Mountain Standard Time coverage as national clock alignments change.

First Review Cycle

The initial Phoenix, AZ review combines year-round Mountain Standard Time coverage as national clock alignments change with a controlled examination of equity-signal validation, sector diagnostics, and regime review. Each material observation needs a source, a time, and a defined owner. The operating test starts with this task: Test signal stability, turnover, capacity, and transaction-cost sensitivity. It continues with this task: Run walk-forward and out-of-sample evaluation. The Phoenix opening emphasizes explicit handoff rules during daylight-saving changes and dependable afternoon review. The findings must distinguish confirmed evidence from an early explanation. The review closes only after another specialist can reproduce the key checks and identify the evidence behind the outcome for a falsifiable research idea from point-in-time data construction through out-of-sample evaluation.

• 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
