When markets change, they change fast. In the blink of an eye, Big Tech stocks can start going down unexpectedly or the possibility of a new vaccine for the global pandemic can shoot prices up. During these volatile times in the global markets, our clients rely on our flagship Bloomberg Portfolio Analytics product PORT, which helps the most prominent players in the financial markets make business decisions every day.

Our team has the critical responsibility of providing highly scalable and low latency real-time portfolio analytics that allow our clients to track the performance of their portfolios throughout the day and also help break down the portfolio to attribute its performance in customizable market sectors. Our full-stack system gets a usage of tens of thousands of client hits per day across our Bloomberg Terminal and Mobile platforms, and our high impact product is referred to as “the landing page” of our Portfolio Analytics application. Every move in the market means millions of new calculations that flow through our comprehensive analytics engine, which gives our team the responsibility to provide cutting-edge engineering solutions to keep our system highly scalable, modular and accurate. We are currently building a brand new product that will redefine our current offerings, using machine learning to optimize our analytics and workflows, and constantly innovating our architecture as our fast-paced business grows and evolves.

Our distributed system is composed of highly scalable and multi-threaded C++ services and publishing frameworks, using a mix of open-source technologies such as Redis, Apache ZooKeeper, Spark, Jenkins and Docker. As owners of a critical real-time analytics platform, we use monitoring technologies such as Splunk and Grafana and follow modern SDLC practices. We follow Agile methodology within the team, and use Scaled Agile Product Increments (PI) to collaborate with the other teams across the organization which spans over New York, London and Lugano, Switzerland.
