Description
THE GIST
Deeter Analytics is a private investment firm managing approximately $500M across public markets, alternatives, and private investments.
We are small, profitable, and aggressive.
We don’t have committees. We have capital, judgment, and a need for speed.
We are hiring a technical builder to sit directly beside the CIO and architect the firm’s intelligence layer — the system that determines how we see the market.
This is not a quant role.
This is not a reporting role.
This is not a research-for-research’s-sake role.
This is a Human-in-the-Loop AI role: building the Iron Man suit — an exoskeleton that allows a human trader to process 100× more information without losing intuition, discretion, or speed.
This role sits at the center of our trading advantage.
THE PROBLEM
Markets are noisy. Alpha comes from synthesis.
We already have access to the data.
The bottleneck is human bandwidth.
Too much time is spent:
- Refreshing feeds
- Reading things that don’t matter
- Manually stitching together signal across sources
Latency kills insight. Insight kills latency.
THE MISSION
Build the nervous system of the firm.
You will own the entire loop:
Ingestion → LLM synthesis → Trader decision
Your mandate is simple and brutal:
Reduce time-to-insight across the entire trading operation.
If you surface a signal 10 minutes faster than the street, we win.
If you automate away four hours of reading, we double our capacity.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
1. Information Pipelines (Kill the “F5” Key)
You will design and maintain automated pipelines that ingest, clean, and normalize:
- News, filings, earnings calls, macro releases
- Social and sentiment data
- Alternative and proprietary datasets
Your job is to replace manual refresh workflows with push-based alerts that surface only what matters — mapped directly to:
- Watchlists
- Live positions
- Risk exposure
Reliability matters. Latency matters. Silence matters.
2. AI-Augmented Research (A Live Analyst on the Desk)
You will deploy LLM-powered systems to summarize, extract, compare, and reason over:
- 10-Ks, 10-Qs, earnings calls, central bank minutes
- Sell-side research and internal notes
You will build “chat with our data” tools that allow traders to query proprietary research in natural language.
Example:
“Summarize the bear case from the last three earnings calls.”
You will also create tools for fast discretionary back-testing:
“How did this asset behave during the last three macro shocks of this type?”
3. Signal & Noise Filtering (Protect Attention)
You will build the filters that decide what breaks through.
- Sentiment and relevance scoring
- Entity recognition that maps events to exposure
- Dashboards that surface regimes, anomalies, and dislocations — not vanity metrics
If something matters, it should scream.
If it doesn’t, it should disappear.
4. Infrastructure, Security & Reliability (Own the Stack)
You own the compute layer that runs the intelligence system.
- Cloud and/or local GPU infrastructure
- Vector databases and retrieval systems
- Data-privacy-first architectures (local models where required)
You choose the architecture.
You ship what runs fastest and breaks least.
Our proprietary data and strategies do not leak. Ever.
WHO YOU ARE
You Are a Founder-Hacker
You have likely:
- Built your own projects
- Traded your own account
- Worked in a high-stakes startup, prop shop, or family office
You hate waiting for permission.
You like tools that get used today.
You Speak Python
- Python (Pandas, NumPy) is non-negotiable
- You have hands-on experience with:
- LLMs and RAG architectures
- Prompting, evaluation, and failure modes
- Vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus, FAISS, etc.)
- Orchestration (LangChain, Airflow, or custom agents)
- REST & WebSocket APIs (market data, news, internal tools)
- Lightwe
