END-OF-STUDIES INTERNSHIP – Study Market data access control solution for linear rates clients

The team 

Real Time Portfolio Management team belongs to Product Evaluation Services (PES) department that is responsible for the product management of the whole MX.3 platform. Our RTPM team manages the definition, evolution and development of generic tools used for the portfolio management by various Trading desks, going from Cash or Linear Rates desks to Exotic ones, and also by Investment Management.

Market Data team is specialized in Market Data capturing and integration in all the relevant modules of MX.3 platform and is part of RTPM team.  

The mission

Controlling the access/update of market data is a key feature for clients as it allows them to represent user's roles and responsibilities of their organization into the softwares/resources which are used to achieve their mission.

This helps the organization to manage operational risk by allowing users to change only what they are intended to update.  

There are currently several ways to control the access/update of market data in MX.3, that can provide different levels of granularity:  

• Permissions at the level of the screens  

• Permissions at the level of the storage  

• Permissions at the level of the market data itself  

Your mission will be to study the typical use cases of a standard linear rates client to provide a fit to purpose solution about Market data access control.  

During this mission, you will have to:  

• Understand the standard use cases of a linear rates client and build market data access control requirements  

• Prepare a test campaign to validate these use cases  

• Execute the test campaign and document the market data access control solution with its limitations   

• Specify small developments to fix the gaps  

• Ensure the non-regression of these use cases  

• Create an official documentation for the product  

• Communicate the result of your study and campaign to customer services and linear rate product team
