In Montreal, we are the Technology behind the bank’s initiatives! We service most business lines, either from an application or infrastructure perspective. Our day-to-day is to partner with the business and redefine how the firm is doing business.

We understood a long time ago that without innovative tech, there is no future. We are therefore heavily investing in tools, software and platforms, but above all: in people.
 

Ok, but what is the project I'm going to be working on? What is « Reliability & Production Engineering » and what do « System Reliability Analysts » do?

As a financial service provider, Morgan Stanley helps individuals, families, institutions and governments raise, manage and distribute the capital they need to achieve their goals.

To support these activities and achieve the goals, the firm processes an average of 40 million trades and moves assets valuing trillions of dollars in multiple countries and currencies across the globe every single day.

Reliability and Production Engineering (RPE) teams are focused on improving the service availability, scalability, performance, and efficiency of the systems that facilitate the volume and variety of transactions at this immense scale.

System Reliability Analysts make powerful contributions to this effort by applying the principles of System Reliability Engineering (SRE) to systems covering multiple business lines, including Investment Banking, Prime Brokerage, Sales & Trading (Equities, Fixed Income), as well as roles in core Finance, Operations, and Compliance technology groups.

Since 1935, Morgan Stanley is known as a global leader in financial services, always evolving and innovating to better serve our clients and our communities in more than 40 countries around the world.
