Google is still building its team. Its website lists openings for a foreign government bond trader, a risk analyst, and a portfolio analyst of agency mortgage-backed securities. Callinicos says he’s looking for different qualities than those that large banks are seeking. “We’re not trying to become a Wall Street firm,” he says. “This is Google. It’s eclectic.” He cites Ranidu Lankage, who came to Google after a full-ride at Yale and a two-year stint at Lehman Brothers. When he’s not analyzing Google’s portfolio, Lankage is a star of Sri Lankan-style rap and R&B. He landed his first record deal with Sony (SNE) at age 19.
