About the Role

The Indianapolis, IN position owns the full evidence path from event-time data design through production review of market-microstructure measures. Its working schedule covers Eastern Time coordination of morning research, intraday decisions, and post-close checks. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision. Indianapolis Operating Focus The Indianapolis opening emphasizes process ownership, practical review standards, and unambiguous escalation paths. Morning research conclusions must be translated into explicit live-market checks before the open. During the session, the opening owns the point where observation becomes escalation. Final reconciliation confirms that every material exception has evidence, a disposition, and either a completed action or a named next owner. For this role, that means direct ownership of event-time data quality, liquidity diagnostics, and intraday research review during Eastern Time coordination of morning research, intraday decisions, and post-close checks.

Any proposed response must remain within an approved limit. Two assigned tasks anchor the evidence: Design studies of spreads, depth, impact, auction behavior, and short-horizon price response; and Build event-time datasets without look-ahead or survivorship bias. The Indianapolis opening emphasizes process ownership, practical review standards, and unambiguous escalation paths. The record must show how each result affected the review.
