Description & Requirements

Our team’s Market Data middleware solutions have serviced client requests for Bloomberg’s financial data for the last twenty-five years, for everything from Enterprise trading applications to the Bloomberg Excel plug-ins. Our software is a critical, client and internal-facing component of the Real-time Data platform, handling billions of requests daily. Our mission is to improve the speed, reliability, and breadth of our market data offerings to support the growth of our data businesses.

We are building a reliable, scalable, and performant system where individual services can be independently developed, tested, deployed, monitored and observed. We want to eliminate the operational effort involved in inspecting and troubleshooting the data delivered by our system and enable our customer service teams to troubleshoot without needing our engineers’ help. Each of our C++20 microservices is paired with robust unit, integration, and system tests delivering us greatly improved observability – including the ability to trace every downstream service request and response and store this data so we can instantly retrieve and, if needed, debug any client request made in the last month.

Our team consists of ten engineers whose range of experience is one to twenty-six years. We’re looking for passionate, adaptable infrastructure developers who want to expand their expertise in business-critical application infrastructure, and be stewards of a carefully-designed and expansive codebase.

We’ll trust you to:

• Have experience overseeing large-scale overhauls of C++ code bases

• Ensure our architecture stays testable, observable, and understandable as we scale and adapt to new business needs

• Guide the team through changes that uphold high standards of design

• Collaborate with a large team and stakeholders in Engineering, Product and Support while working on multiple projects in parallel

• Build impactful, client-facing services for the growing Enterprise Data business

You’ll need to have:

• 4+ years working with an object-oriented programming language (C/C++, Python, Java, etc.)

• A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience

• Proven experience managing large, evolving C++17/20 software frameworks

• A track record and love of collaborating with and mentoring other team members

• An interest in working with product teams to align business and engineering strategies

We’d love to see:

• Proven ability to communicate complex technical problems to a variety of stakeholders

• Experience with distributed systems

• Experience managing the entire software development lifecycle
