The Data Analyst will work with vintage and revision-aware datasets to support point-in-time and real-time analysis and will perform exploratory data analysis to identify anomalies, structural changes, and data quality issues. This role works closely with research analysts to ensure datasets are investment-ready and aligned with the needs of systematic macro research across equities, FX, rates, and commodities.
