About Data Engineering
Data plays a critical role in every facet of the Goldman Sachs business. The Data Engineering group is at the core of that offering, focusing on providing the platform, processes, and governance, for enabling the availability of clean, organized, and impactful data to scale, streamline, and empower our core businesses.
Within Data Engineering, we focus on offering a comprehensive data platform, Legend, which we have made available as an open-source product. Legend includes a full data modeling environment, as well as the execution of data access and controls, and a vast set of value-add products which allow our business users to operate more efficiently.
Leveraging our own Legend offering, our engineers build efficient data solutions that source, curate, and distribute critical data to our businesses, including financial product, pricing, transaction, and client reference data. Our engineers collaborate closely with the business to design and curate business-specific data models, and to transform and distribute data for optimal storage and retrieval.
Who We Look For
Goldman Sachs Engineers are innovators and problem-solvers, building solutions in risk management, big data, mobile and more. We look for creative collaborators who evolve, adapt to change and thrive in a fast-paced global environment.
