At Data Intellect, we solve some of the most complex data engineering challenges in global financial markets.
For over two decades, we've partnered with many of the world's leading investment banks, hedge funds and exchanges, helping them build high-performance data platforms that power trading, analytics and market surveillance. We're recognised as one of the world's leading consultancies specialising in time series data and capital markets technology.
As our clients continue to adopt modern data platforms, we're investing in a new capability centred around ClickHouse.
