Careers

Index Analyst Intern
The Index Analyst intern will support in the maintenance and development of the Euronext Index methodologies, including corporate actions methodology, and will ensure compliance with relevant Index regulations and market practices. The candidate will mainly support with: 
• Creation, maintenance and development of Index Rules and methodologies 
• Analyzing and deciding on the treatment of complex Corporate Actions in Indices
• External client consultations on Index Rules 
• Reporting on Index Activities for internal senior management and regulators
• Ad-hoc queries and presentations

The internship will run for a duration of at least six months.

Code and deployment quality are important to overall quality of the software. Our team developed tools that give insights relative to the code base stored in “git” to an ELK cluster. The tooling is made in Python and bash and should be upgraded to a newer version Python and ‘pip’. Additionally, we developed tools around our business dictionary to produce code, present it; link it to the applicative needs, and we’d like to improve this to help with impact assessments.

The apprenticeship will mix several technologies, including Python, Java, Bash scripting, potentially SQL. We'll push data to ELK clusters and Victoria Metrics (same protocol as InfluxDB)
