AIM is a large-scale system, built and maintained by more than 400 engineers, which is used to manage trillions of dollars of assets by 930 global firms in over 80 countries.

Market events such as trades, stock splits, dividends, maturities, acquisitions, new pricing, etc affect the current as well as historical portfolio positions for a client.

e. as "as of" as well as an "as was" view) traceability into security positions, cash balances, and P&L computations to serve as the accurate, single-source of truth across asset classes.

The engine is highly scalable and designed to compute a very high volume of trading events per day. We challenge ourselves to maintain a system that is horizontally scalable, efficiently processes high frequency of updates, while providing high throughput.
