The Team

Central to this is the realtime capture, analysis and distribution of market and trading system data. Technology developed by the Frameworks team is at the heart of an exciting program of greenfield projects through which we are re-architecting our trading stack around a stream processing paradigm built using Kafka and Kafka Streams. The team empowers users by providing them with easy access to clean, well defined data in a simple, language independent way.
