Description of the team/department:

The Reference Data Management team is in charge of developing and handling the evolutions of internal services providing various data objects to different other services and business solutions of the MX.3 platform. The development team is composed of 2 C++ developers and 5 java developers (2 of them located in Beirut).

During the internship, the intern will be part of the team and integrated in the agile methodology. He/she will share his/her progress on a daily basis with the team and interact with other team members to learn and get information.

Missions:

The data objects managed by the Reference Data Management team are used by various business solutions of the MX.3 platform. Some of these solutions involve large volumes of objects some other require very high response times. They all require a perfect robustness of the services providing these objects.

Lots of efforts have been put during the last years to optimize the performances of the Reference Data Management services.

A very important task performed by the services before exposing the objects is to complete them with additional data coming from other objects or even other services.

This task can be time consuming, and several optimizations can be imagined to make it quicker.

Moreover, this task was initially developed specifically for each type of objects. But recent refactoring would now allow to have a more generic approach for this “completion” process across all object types.

The intern will have the opportunity to:

• Use memory/threads analysis tools to detect the bottleneck of the completion task
• Identify solutions to optimize the process
• Develop (in Java) the identified optimization as part of the Agile team, following the standard delivery process
• Measure and document the benefits brought by the optimizations

On a separate note, the intern will also work on a refactoring to make the process generic for all object types.

The intern will discuss with his/her manager about the best way to organize this work and assess if the refactoring step should be done prior to the optimization work.
