About the company

Comity builds financial infrastructure for energy markets, focusing on collateral and credit risk so energy producers and buyers can transact more efficiently. The company positions the work as making energy cheaper and more reliable, with a focus on power and power-derived commodities. Comity highlights deep domain experience across power markets, commodity finance, and AI-driven modeling. The company lists backing from Caffeinated Capital, Maverick Ventures, and SV Angel.

Locations and presence

Comity lists headquarters in New York City, and the hiring footprint repeatedly references hubs in Chicago and San Francisco. Recent roles appear as on-site or hybrid for New York, alongside remote US-based advisory roles.

Palpable Score

40.0

/ 100

Comity runs a fairly professional hiring setup for a small team, with clear role write-ups and some stated commitments to fair access and teammate growth. The main limiter for graduates is simple: current hiring signals skew heavily toward senior specialists and “seasoned” advisors rather than true 0–3 year roles.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

2.5

/ 20

The company’s visible openings concentrate on senior scope, such as “Senior Quantitative Researcher – Portfolio Optimization” with P&L responsibility and a graduate degree expectation.
Comity’s other listed openings are part-time advisor roles framed for “seasoned” former executives or regulatory leaders, which blocks genuine entry-level access.
The company does not show recurring “Analyst”, “Associate”, “Junior”, internship, or 0–3 years-required roles in the public postings reviewed, which keeps the entry-level score near the floor.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company uses Ashby for applications, which usually means a consistent application flow rather than email-only hiring.
Comity’s job descriptions spell out concrete responsibilities (portfolio allocation systems, strategy acceptance criteria, cross-functional collaboration) and list “nice to have” separately, which helps candidates self-assess.
The company includes an equal opportunity statement in the senior quant posting, but public materials do not outline interview stages, task expectations, or timelines in a way a first-time jobseeker could rely on.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

9.0

/ 20

The company explicitly frames team culture around learning and teaching in the senior quant posting, including language about being a “lifelong learner” and “empathetic teacher” plus “growth and development” commitments.
Comity’s public culture/perks listings include “flexible arrangements supporting your development” and “awesome onsites,” but those are not tied to a specific onboarding or mentorship structure for juniors.
The company does not publish early-career-ready support signals like a ramp plan, buddy system, or clear review cadence in the roles available to view, which caps the learning score.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

10.5

/ 20

The company’s senior quant role is shown publicly with a pay range (commonly listed as $150k–$250k) and full-time status, which is a strong transparency signal for that level.
Comity lists benefits like a $0-deductible PPO, equity emphasis, and unlimited PTO in public recruiting profiles, but these details are not consistently attached to every role a candidate might apply for.
The company’s only roles tagged closer to “early career” on aggregators are part-time advisory listings where pay is often not provided, so pay fairness for genuinely junior candidates cannot be verified from public evidence.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

6.0

/ 20

The company has visible longer-tenure signals at the founding layer on public startup profiles (for example, CEO listed at ~5 years and a founding team member listed at ~4 years), suggesting some retention at the core team level.
Comity is labeled as a fast responder on startup job platforms (top 10% response time, “responds within two weeks”), which is a tangible candidate-experience outcome even without offer data.
The company lacks public, early-career-specific outcome proof such as junior promotions, repeat junior cohorts, or a meaningful volume of employee reviews, which limits confidence about progression after joining.
