Morgan Stanley’s Finance division is the guardian of the firm’s books and records. This organization is responsible for validating and attesting to the firm’s financial and profitability, capital management, producing internal and external financial statements, and contributing to firmwide risk management.
Finance Technology is responsible for developing & supporting solutions which enable the Finance division to perform and improve upon these functions. A unique aspect of this department is the breadth of interaction across the entire firm – our systems process data for all asset types (Fixed Income, Equity, Wealth, etc.) and include data from Risk, Settlements, market data, among many others. We get the opportunity to work with many business & technology teams across all segments.
Currently, we are focused on initiatives to help further automate business processes, modernize our technology stack, and implement AI-centric solutions. In Asia, we are focused on nuances unique to the region – such as supporting multiple markets, regulators, local products and currencies.
Our team develops systems which include feature-rich Angular UIs, flexible and scalable REST services, large scale online analytical processing (50k+ jobs) of large datasets and warehouse reporting (100TB+). The technology team practices agile development and uses multiple JVM languages including Scala, Java and Groovy, as well as Python. SQL and Linux shells are also used on a daily basis.
