About Aladdin Data and the Next Generation Security Master Platform. Data drives Aladdin’s differentiation, with the Aladdin Data (AD) organization managing BlackRock's data ecosystem. AD operates the Aladdin Enterprise Data Platform (EDP), which is the foundational framework that delivers high-quality, consistent data throughout the organization. Security Master, a business domain within AD, manages the lifecycle of all tradable instruments (securities), including stocks, bonds, digital assets, private assets and many more. To address emerging business opportunities, we are launching a multi-year initiative to build the Next Generation Security Master platform, fundamentally transforming how instrument data is managed and distributed across Aladdin. The new platform will provide managed and self-service capabilities, creating new commercial opportunities. Key features include: Sophisticated GUIs for both managed and self-service instrument maintenance workflows; Robust backend services and APIs for platform application integration; Advanced database and architecture design using cloud-native infrastructure for scalability. Success requires hands-on experience building scalable, resilient solutions in regulated environments. Ideal candidates have delivered complex, stable enterprise platforms that empower teams and follow architectural best practices. This is a unique chance to influence the future of data infrastructure at one of the world’s leading investment platforms, tackling challenges in instrument data management, identifier strategy, and global governance.
