Sr. QA Engineer - Allio Capital

About Allio

Informed citizens build dynamic portfolios. Allio’s mission is to transform the way fintech investors approach portfolio management through the lens of a macro system predicated on education and next-level financial technology. By elevating our clients' understanding of the factors that move markets they will learn not just how to interpret economic signals but more importantly, what implications they have for the sectors and industries that make up their portfolio.

The world is experiencing a contentious changing global order in the midst of a 4th industrial revolution. High inflation, unrestrained government spending, dedollarization and political polarization create difficult headwinds for the US to continue leading the world in innovation. Innovation is directly correlated with productivity, but productivity is a result of education and a market economy driven by incentives. Academia has become a beacon for Neo-Marxist Ideology. Demands to legislate equality of outcome have replaced the decades long standards of equality of opportunity shrouded in meritocracy. As a result, for the first time in U.S. history, individuals are faced with the likelihood that they will have a lower standard of living than their parents. In order to combat this contagion, it starts with educating professionals on the economic policies that are going to give them and their posterity the best quality of life. Enter macro investing. No matter one's political affiliation, both sides are interested in seeing their investments grow. This creates a catalyst to explain how monetary and fiscal policy directly impact their finances. The goal is to produce an informed, united electorate capable of setting equitable growth policies predicated on data, not ideological party affiliation, leading to higher productivity and an increased standard of living.
