Overview

Applications is an Engineering function within Quantexa’s R&D department that is focused on internally building real-world applications of the Quantexa Platform. This is to enable demonstrations of the product and develop SaaS offerings, whilst also testing and refining new Platform features before they are deployed by clients. The function also develops and releases its own tools that feed into these internal applications but are also packaged and released to help standardize and accelerate all Quantexa deployments.

It encompasses four distinct sub-teams:

Data Engineering Accelerators

• Developing Quantexa’s libraries for cleansing, parsing and standardising data used in entity resolution

• Finding efficiency/performance improvements through big data testing and building performance tooling

• Owning best practices in entity resolution and network building

Data Feeds

• Building standardised and reusable code for processing various third party/open source data sets

• Managing an internal data lake for the provision of this data by other teams for testing and analytics

• Owning general best practices for ingesting and processing data to get it ready for use in the Quantexa Platform, including pipelines and scheduling

Demos

• Developing, deploying and maintaining all Quantexa demos, showcasing the different use cases for the Quantexa Platform

• Owning the Quantexa Trial platform, for prospective Quantexa clients to see the product in action using real data provided by Data Feeds

• Building tools to enable solution owners and sales to create their own custom demos

SaaS

• Building Quantexa’s emerging SaaS offering, a cloud hosted, standardized deployment of the Quantexa Platform

• Targeting mid-market banks in the US for Retail AML initially, providing them with a cost-effective Quantexa solution, then expanding in future to more use cases and geographies

• Implementing cutting edge features of the Quantexa Platform ensuring SaaS customers always on the latest and greatest of Quantexa
