Financial data platform and analytics for investment professionals
FactSet operates a multi-decade financial data and software business serving tens of thousands of investment professionals globally. The tech stack reflects a hybrid legacy-to-cloud transition: strong .NET and SQL Server presence alongside AWS infrastructure (Glue, EKS, MSK), with active adoption of Claude, GitHub Copilot, and RAG—signaling investment in AI-assisted analytics and data pipelines. The hiring mix is product-heavy (116 roles) with substantial data (86) and engineering (79) depth, while projects cluster around migrating legacy performance solutions and integrating siloed datasets, suggesting FactSet is modernizing its core platform architecture.
