Our tools automate data workflows, generate reports, and provide data needed for reconciliation and analysis. We design, develop, and maintain custom pipelines and applications that collect, store, and distribute a wide variety of data from both internal and external systems. Most importantly, the team ensures that critical processes and systems are operational and functioning on a day-to-day basis. The Mid-Office development stack is built on Kubernetes, MS-SQL Server, and Python.
