About The Team Performance Technology provides portfolio return calculations for use across PWM. In the wealth management space performance calculation is a complex endeavor. The inputs to the performance system include large amounts of product and account reference data as well as valuations for every position and transaction held by each client from account inception through current day. The raw data coming from various systems across time and product type is normalized using modern big data pipelines in HDFS/Spark/Java which process many billions of data points.

The output of that normalization is fed into a massive Single Store cluster used as a compute engine, and which also serves the almost 1 trillion rows of output to consumers across the wealth management space. Most consumers access the data through a micro-service REST layer built using Java/Spring Boot. The performance team provides a rich web UI used by internal teams for detailed analysis of the performance data.

About The Role In this role you will have an opportunity to work with an extremely strong, diverse, global team of engineers on a modern application stack providing critical performance analyses to internal teams as well as external clients through  You will also learn all about the complexities of calculating performance in the wealth management space which is a great way to start your journey in learning the business here formance is one of the most important metrics used by our clients to evaluate how well we are doing for them as a firm so the opportunity for having an impact is very high.

The performance project is modern so you will have an opportunity to work with recent technologies and contribute to a growing platform providing critical functionality.

Job Duties

• Software engineering role responsible for the design, implementation and support of Performance Technology Platform and related Applications.
• Design, develop and test components of performance calculator leveraging technologies like Java 8+, Spring Boot, Single Store, Hadoop, Spark refiners, etc. to normalize and refine transactions and positions data of PWM Accounts and thereby calculating time weighted returns, internal rate of return, investment results and other performance metrics for client accounts.
• Work with distributed databases like Single Store to compute account performance and retrieve data for RESTful APIs; profile the application to identify throughput and capacity bottlenecks and remediate them by suggesting and/or implementing alternate solutions.
• Work daily with product owner and development teams in an agile setting to prioritize and deliver business requirements for performance calculator.
• Work with the users to resolve production related issues with regards to accounts performance data provided by the performance calculator.
• Create required engineering artifacts, including architecture and sequence diagrams for review by senior technical leadership.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, operations and development teams on all phases of the agile software development lifecycle including functional analysis, technical design and implementation of product features.
• Conduct code reviews and provide feedback on code submitted by other members of the team.
• Facilitate reviews with Tech Risk and Internal Audit (or related) teams to ensure software components are compliant with the Firm’s standards for security, privacy and access controls.
• Implement software according to the Firm’s standard…
