Forecite is the trading intelligence platform engineered for scale. We capture, analyze, and act on market-moving news, SEC filings, and sentiment signals in real time — and our Verdict Engine scores every headline for the traders who move first.

We hire builders who thrive on complex technical challenges, hold themselves to a high bar, and genuinely care about the people who use what they build. The team brings sharp judgement, real craft, and the drive to do exceptional work.

If you want to do the best work of your career, this is the right place.

About the role

You will map the first seconds after a headline drops: who moves, how fast, and what that implies for how verdicts should be timed, sized, and delivered.

What you'll do

  • Analyze tick-level reactions to scored events across venues.
  • Quantify the value of each millisecond of latency we save.
  • Feed findings back into product decisions and model calibration.

What we're looking for

  • Hands-on experience with high-frequency or tick data.
  • Strong SQL and Python; you can go from raw ticks to a defensible claim.
  • You communicate findings in plain language.
