Senior Software Engineer - Risk and Performance Platform London, GBR Posted yesterday

Every day, trillions of dollars pass through the Bloomberg Terminal. As a result, hundreds of thousands of financial professionals rely on our enterprise applications to manage their portfolios, execute their trades and analyse the markets. Bloomberg Engineers build the applications our clients rely on to not just stay informed, but stay ahead of the market. We connect supply and demand across all asset classes on worldwide exchanges.

The Market Risk team is currently at the forefront of Bloomberg’s Risk offering. Our team builds Risk solutions for both buy-side and sell-side enterprise clients in the Terminal and programmatic APIs. We employ a wide range of technologies to help us manage our distributed calculation farm that handles billions of computations daily. We continue to expand our offering specifically in the risk domain, to support a wide range of technological and product requirements. Some of our recent work includes the speed up of VaR calculations and horizontal scaling of our calculation farms.

• Work directly with product owners to build products that our clients use to tackle complex problems
• Take ownership of technical solutions, development and delivery to production
• Develop in all levels of an application stack, from the client to server side
• Be open to learning and using any language needed for the role (mainly C++)

You’ll need to have:

• Hands-on experience in developing risk solutions using C++ (or other object oriented language)
• Experience building software applications for the Fintech domain
• Deep understanding of the Risk domain and regulations with emphasis on Market Risk (full valuation Value at Risk, term structure risk, historical and predictive stress test scenarios)
• Deep knowledge of market risk factors and how they impact security valuations
• Good understanding of cross assets pricing and valuation
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively across different stakeholders

We’d love to see:
