• Build and maintain systems that span research and production, enabling rapid iteration from idea to production
• Design high-fidelity simulation and backtesting infrastructure that models latency, microstructure, and real-world constraints
• Define, compute, and curate features across instruments, regimes, and time horizons
• Own feature and signal pipelines, ensuring clean, consistent delivery from research to execution
• Contribute to strategy optimization, balancing expected performance with real-world constraints
• Debug issues end-to-end across research and execution
