A shop is perfectly within their rights to refuse to sell you something if you are not willing to use their accepted payment methods.
Legal tender simply means they can't sue you if you offer to settle their debt using a legal tender currency. If they have refused to sell you the item, there is no debt, therefore no obligation to accept any particular instrument

It supports preprocessing the csvs if you need to clean the data or compute some new fields which is really powerful. Once you are up and running it only needs some minor updates each month to map unidentifiable transactions I can do this in under an hour these days.

- How are you managing rebalancing, what might trigger a rebalance and how do you manage the tax implications of that?
- With a rebalance/deposit/withdrawal are you always a taker in the market?
- What's the custody side of this look like? i.e where do the stocks sit, are they in my brokerage account or are you custodian.
- How are you accounting for dividends in the portfolios do they get reinvested/included in returns?
- Can you manage all types of corporate action like splits, mergers, delisting, halts etc.?

Some of the things currently on the roadmap that are relevant for this role:
* Reassess the tooling for our data processing pipelines - is DBT the right tool for the job.
* Move our data pipelines to real time ingestion using streaming data.
* Improve the quality of our data ingestion/matching processes.
* Integrate additional data sources into the pipeline to increase coverage.
* Enhance the API to expose the data to the other parts of the system to support the launch of our 'Pro' Product later in the year
* Develop Machine Learning models to extract semantic information from PDFs/Images
Technology Stack
* Everything is deployed in containers to our k8s cluster in Google Cloud
* Fully reactive api build on Java 13, Spring Boot 2, Webflux + R2DBC

"Founded by an evolutionary anthropologist, this parenting resource is for critical thinkers -- people who want to understand child development from the perspectives of psychology, anthropology, evolution, and cognitive neuroscience.
I’ve got opinions. But who cares? You might be a scientist, physician, or teacher. Maybe you're an educated, skeptical layperson who loves science. Whatever the case, you don't need a sermon. You need evidence. You can draw your own conclusions.
So here it is: No folk theories. No preachy advice. No authoritarian pronouncements or pseudoscientific political dogma. Instead, you’ll find my analysis of the research, fully-referenced so you know where to go if you want to dig deeper yourself."
In a similar vein I'm currently reading Frederic Laloux's Reinventing Organisations which is great although may be difficult to enact depending on your company.
Specifically around managing software engineers I would do some reading on bricolage and how to cultivate that mindset, I've found adopting it in my teams sees motivation soar. I don't have any specific reading material to point you at on that though.
