Job description

The Fresno, CA opening for a Senior Quantitative Researcher - Market Microstructure is fully remote and restricted to applicants in that area.

About the Role

In this Fresno, CA role, you will be accountable for the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures while supporting Pacific Time review of late-session liquidity and next-day research readiness. The work requires direct communication, explicit limits, and records that remain useful after market conditions change.

Fresno Operating Focus

The Fresno opening emphasizes complete close analysis, dependable data checks, and clear overnight handoffs. The Pacific Time schedule gives this opening ownership of close behavior, late data checks, and preparation for the following session. Any unresolved discrepancy must be visible before overnight processing begins. The handoff describes whether the issue affects research, production, execution, or only a non-critical reporting process. For this role, that means direct ownership of event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during Pacific Time review of late-session liquidity and next-day research readiness.

First Review Cycle

The first review cycle for Fresno, CA starts with Pacific Time review of late-session liquidity and next-day research readiness. It will establish a measured baseline for event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review before the team proposes an operating change. 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 Fresno opening emphasizes complete close analysis, dependable data checks, and clear overnight handoffs. Neither check can rely only on an informal message or market story. The final handoff will name the current state, the responsible person, and the next verification step. It will preserve a clear path back to 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
• Document assumptions, failure modes, and regime sensitivity
• Own event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during Pacific Time review of late-session liquidity and next-day research readiness.
