About Nasdaq!
Nasdaq offers products that cover the complete securities transaction processing chain including trading, clearing and risk management, settlement and depository services, and surveillance. Customer solutions may include one or more products, such as trading and clearing products, combined to deliver business value for specific customers. This team is responsible for maintaining and operating an integrated test system solution that incorporates Nasdaq core products deployed in the cloud. Tailoring such a solution requires product-to-product integration, synchronization of shared reference data, orchestration of schedules, alignment of deployment and technical operations, and alignment of accessibility. It plays a crucial role in streamlining multi-product deliveries by creating standardized integrations and workflows, supported by a common CI/CD pipeline, to ensure cross-product workflows are tested in conjunction with new product releases. The team ensures that business integration flows are continuously and automatically verified.
