Index engineering platform for structured products and multi-asset ETFs
Solactive operates an index calculation and distribution platform serving investment banks, ETF providers, and asset managers across 500+ international clients. The tech stack—Python, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Kubernetes, and FactSet—reflects a data-intensive operation scaling from batch to real-time, with active migration toward cloud-native infrastructure (adopting GraphQL and Argo Workflows). Engineering and data hiring (24 of 40 open roles) concentrate on automation and reliability, addressing acute pain points around real-time computation, high-availability indexing, and legacy system modernization.
