About the Role: This opening gives the New York, NY hire responsibility for live strategy supervision, exposure limits, execution review, incident response, and controlled production experiments, with operating coverage focused on early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session. You will connect research, engineering, trading, and risk without hiding uncertainty or operational tradeoffs. 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 live equity exposure, execution quality, escalation, and post-trade review during early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session. First Review Cycle The first review cycle for New York, NY starts with early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session. It will establish a measured baseline for live equity exposure, execution quality, escalation, and post-trade review before the team proposes an operating change. The review joins two pieces of work: Investigate slippage, drift, and unusual market behavior; and Define escalation and controlled-shutdown procedures. The New York opening emphasizes fast morning escalation, precise market-open review, and complete end-of-day records. You will document where the results agree, where they differ, and what needs another test. The final handoff will name the current state, the responsible person, and the next verification step. It will preserve a clear path back to live strategy supervision, exposure limits, execution review, incident response, and controlled production experiments.
