The Strat team is responsible for designing, building and maintaining the code that handles the data priming, the model execution and the post-processing of the solution into a format that clients can consume.

Being comfortable with inter-library dependencies, python package management and continuous development practices is also crucial.
In addition to building the calculations, the Strat team is on the front-line when it comes to executing the multilateral optimization runs, which occur multiple times a week.
