Senior DevOps Engineer

About the Team and Project

LSEG delivers truly world-changing insight based on rich content sources. This is a dominant playing field to provide intelligent portfolio analytics that helps financial market participants find more profitable investment opportunities.

The LSEG product set provides real-time market information so that clients can quickly understand the sources of relative risk and return in their funded and model portfolios. This enables portfolio managers to efficiently make portfolio adjustments and clearly and accurately track the changes. LSEG portfolio analytics provides access to a wealth of sectors, characteristics and industry-leading models and the ability to build in proprietary data for evaluation of investment management strategy and results.

The Portfolio and Funds databases operate at petabyte scale and the portfolio application services typically involve complex, multi-step functions. All system components require a high level of responsiveness and throughput. To keep pace with the demand for portfolio analytics across several LSEG products such as Eikon and Thomson One, we need to build large scale and cloud-native.

The technology stack is a combination of multiple native AWS technologies, C# .Net Framework/.Net Core services, and an AWS Aurora PostgreSQL database. Deployment, monitoring, and automation tools are a combination of DataDog, ELK stack, Jenkins, GitLab, Terraform, Cloud Formation and AWS CloudWatch

If you are interested in leading the development of critical, large-scale, high performance distributed systems that set standards for financial markets, we want you on our team.
