The Team:
The FACT team is responsible for several key data products which enable Clear Street’s systems and personnel to operate with confidence and speed. These products include security and pricing master, corporate actions, and streaming market data as well as a number of other key reference datasets. The FACT team takes on the task of collecting inputs from various sources including vendors, public sources, and internal teams and organizing them into cohesive data products which serve as the authoritative source of reference data within the firm.
The services which allow this data to be accessed in a flexible and responsive manner are key to the FACT team delivering these critical datasets throughout the firm. Building these services requires thoughtful API design and the use of strategic caching and robust signaling. The accuracy and timeliness of this data are a fundamental building block of Clear Street’s platform.
