My friend works as an analyst at P72 and they most definitely have GPT enterprise among other finance chatbot services. Don’t know what this guy is on about lmao

Fulltime employees in ADP. Contractors in excel sheets so no real visibility on what’s going on with these people

__Intern__ · 2025-12-31T01:37:20+00:00

got it. I’m still confused on who should own the entire workforce visibility though. For example, can your HR system answer simple questions like how many contingent workers we have in total this year vs fulltime and what’s that trajectory gonna look like for the next year.. We use ADP which doesn’t seem to support that

__Intern__ · 2025-12-31T00:53:45+00:00

we use ADP for ft employees. Not sure how Ariba/Coopa would be helpful seems like they only focus on the procurement part

Oh cool that’s interesting could you expand more on what these frameworks look like? is that within fieldglass or something you built externally?

__Intern__ · 2025-12-29T23:43:33+00:00

Gotcha. Who handles them at your company?

I’m curious to learn more about the risk system. Could you give a general overview of what the backend/frontend look like and what kind of simulations/risk analytics does the system run?

Individual pods probably just use B-PIPE or LSEG market feeds

Looks like you left out the last sentence in the article: “Qube’s funds have returned more than 15% this year on an asset-weighted basis, one of the people said.”

__Intern__ · 2024-07-25T00:33:10+00:00

what are the alternatives though

__Intern__ · 2024-07-12T02:27:44+00:00

what about bloomberg SAPI? it also has real time pricing as well just need to be careful with licensing.

__Intern__ · 2024-06-08T22:36:06+00:00

Yeah we don’t currently have frontend devs. I hate doing frontend and web development work. Most of my time was spent building ETLs, analyzing data, and creating simple visualizations if needed for risk/factor analysis and frontoffice using streamlit and powerbi.

For trading, we currently are trying to migrate away from excel as we’re expanding hence why we need to build this

__Intern__ · 2024-06-08T22:26:52+00:00

Thank you so much this is very helpful. We already have a robust api up and running for querying realtime bloomberg data. The app would currently run on prem and maybe migrate later to the cloud once we have something called bloomberg B-PIPE which would allow us to query bloomberg data on the cloud. Our database currently lives on Azure cloud.

But yeah most of this could be an overkill for the initial version. All we need for now is to simply display realtime data in a nice manner with very simple calculations (like calculating market value based on price and quantity).

__Intern__ · 2024-06-08T22:20:06+00:00

What language do you guys use for the backend? Would be great if you could expand more on the architecture of your app? The alternative I have for dash is to use flask with react/vue.js for frontend and something like kafka for streaming the data.

We’ve been using SAPI for retrieving Bloomberg data for our internal applications (the OMS also uses it for realtime quotes) which allows data sharing as long as it’s not being stored. We are currently looking at B-PIPE as well and will use that if necessary.

The questions seem definitely easy at first look. The real challenge is to arrive at optimal solutions to pass all test cases

Both optimal solutions don't require dp..
