The team's responsibilities span request/response-based metadata distribution for variousfinancial products (bonds, futures, options, FX spots/forwards, deposits, swaps, commodities, swaptions, cdx, cds, equities, etc), dealing with batch and on-demand security creation and updates, building infrastructure for keeping the metadata current and accurate, and providing multiple means ofdissemination to downstream systems (such as analytics, risk, and trader systems). While not a lowlatency system, it is perceived as a high availability cluster capable of serving both existing securities and securities created upon request based on external metadata.Team members interact directly with operations teams and other technology teams, so solid communication skills are essential.
