About the job

Arcana is a portfolio intelligence platform used by hedge funds and asset managers to analyze performance, risk, and portfolio exposures. We’re rethinking the analytical infrastructure institutional investors rely on—and we’re hiring analytically driven problem solvers who want to help shape the future of investment technology.

This is not a traditional investment analyst role focused on pitching stocks or building static models. Our Portfolio Analytics Specialists work directly with clients, product, and engineering teams to onboard sophisticated investment firms, solve complex portfolio analytics challenges, and help build institutional-grade financial software.

If you enjoy owning projects end-to-end, working closely with institutional investors, and translating analytical problems into scalable workflows and tools, we’d love to talk.
