Joining this team is an opportunity to engineer the foundational systems that drive innovation and ensure the stability of a core part of Bloomberg's business.

The FXGO Streaming team develops and maintains a real-time foreign exchange trading application. This system handles high volumes of pricing data and executes trades with minimal latency. They utilize geographically distributed data centers to reduce trade latency for a global client base, ensuring swift execution for traders worldwide. Continuous optimization of these systems is a primary focus.

The FXGO Block Trading team allows clients to execute a large collection of orders simultaneously. It intelligently combines hundreds of orders in a way that provides the most value to our clients and reduces overhead. Simultaneous execution of orders demands building highly scalable and distributed systems, which is our primary expertise.
