Responsibilities: <strong>Keeping the data on time:</strong> SQL and Scripting are our main tools to make sure the data is correct and the equity is managed the way our customers need.

Software systems knowledge combined with strong debugging skills are required.<br /><br /><strong>Monitoring and measurement:</strong> Knowing how the system is doing over time and how things are trending. We simply have to know what is going on in the system. We use a series of metrics to drive a dedicated process of ongoing improvement.

Step two is understanding the story our data is telling us.<br /><br /><strong>Automation and Tooling:</strong> We're not keen on repetitive tasks and seek to apply automation where it makes sense.
