Arcana is a portfolio intelligence platform used by hedge funds and asset managers to analyze performance and risk. We’re rethinking the tools institutional investors rely on—and we’re hiring analysts who want to drive that transformation.
This isn’t a typical modeling-and-memos analyst role. Our analysts work directly with product, engineering, and data science to shape institutional-grade financial software. If you’re an analyst looking for more impact, more ownership, and the chance to help shape real tools for investors—we’d love to talk.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and data science teams to build robust portfolio intelligence tools and analytics components
- Analyze portfolio- and security-level performance, risk, and attribution
- Decompose returns to identify key drivers of alpha, beta, and idiosyncratic outcomes
- Conduct market, macroeconomic, and security-level research to support client workflows and product insights
- Validate, interpret, and clearly communicate financial metrics to both internal stakeholders and clients
