Risk Management

FramingWhat this is

Real-time and portfolio-level risk monitoring, stress testing, limits, VaR- and CVaR-style models, and the discipline that lets a firm survive the adverse event it did not forecast.

In a systematic launch this is one of the earliest critical hires that is not a founder. The failure that ends a proprietary firm is rarely the one it expected. It is the one it had no limit for.

ProcessFour steps
  1. IntroductionA short message and something you built. No cover letter, no recruiter, no form.
  2. Technical conversationNinety minutes on work you actually did, deep enough that neither of us can bluff.
  3. Paid assignmentA real problem from our backlog, scoped to one day. We pay for it either way.
  4. ReviewYou defend the work to the people who would maintain it. This is the decision.
