Financial intelligence and data platform for capital markets, energy, and ESG
S&P Global operates a sprawling financial intelligence ecosystem across capital markets, commodities, energy, and ESG—serving institutional investors, corporations, and governments. The tech stack reveals a mature hybrid cloud strategy: heavy Python/Java/Spring backend with Oracle migration underway (moving to PostgreSQL/AWS), coupled with aggressive cloud-native adoption (Kubernetes, Lambda, GCP Vertex AI) and emerging ML infrastructure (TensorFlow, SageMaker). Active hiring across engineering, sales, and data teams, plus visible scaling toward automation and platform consolidation (Salesforce migrations, ETL pipeline work, RAG applications), suggests they're refactoring legacy monoliths while building AI-augmented advisory surfaces.
Notable leadership hires: Associate Director, Data Lead, Sales Director, RegOps Lead, Managed Services Team Lead
