GBM, Position Engineering, Analyst /Associate, Dallas, TX

Functional Overview:

BCX Engineering team owns the BCX (Book Contents Expression) and EOD (End of Day) valuations. BCX is the firm's authoritative source (ADS) of EOD positions and valuations. It is responsible for capturing front-office positions, Margin Identifiers and Dollar prices for each position / deal across the firm. This data is then mapped across to contracts, to generate contractual valuations - the relationships between these concepts define how consumers of BCX use this data for a variety of use cases. These tabular datasets are made available in Data Lake as modelled data and are allowed for consumers to use via firm's strategic data browsers. BCX datasets are used to meet various internal and external requirements - including Margin Calls, firm's PNL, balance sheets, regulatory reporting, etc.

The BCX Engineering team is focused on ways to handle a growing number of positions & contracts to be processed on daily basis, as well as data quality, feature scope, scalability, etc. The team operates on tight timelines to deliver data at each EOD and has built data pipelines over time to cope up with increased volumes. The team is proficient in Slang/SecDb, which is the proprietary platform for trade booking, Data Lake platform, Kafka, Java and other related open-source technologies to handle volumes of data. The team interacts with other teams within GS who required EOD Positions/Valuations and work closely with them on delivering key business & regulatory needs.
