Financial-market infrastructure and trading technology for global exchanges
Nasdaq operates a diversified financial-services platform spanning equities, derivatives, fixed income, and index services. The tech stack reflects a mature, compliance-heavy infrastructure: Java + SQL Server + Bloomberg for core trading, paired with cloud-native tooling (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform) and emerging AI adoption (Databricks, LangChain, LlamaIndex). Active hiring across engineering (111 roles), sales (56), and support (51) indicates concurrent growth in platform capacity, client-facing delivery, and operational scaling—balanced with a smaller data (32) and product (23) footprint, suggesting engineering and sales drive the roadmap.
