Impact
Lead critical projects that shape the future of trading technology in over 15 trading applications and >50k high value clients. Expand your reach by collaborating with product managers and engineering teams across Bloomberg who use or onboard onto the platform, while gaining expertise of the trading ecosystem. Have a say in the software architecture and future direction of both CATS and the trading systems we support.
Technical challenges
Use and expand your software architecture skills: you’ll design and build re‑usable, business‑agnostic software. Write code that will stand the test of time and inform top decision makers. These complex systems showcase and interact with large volumes of data at high speed. Develop and deploy both frontend and backend systems with challenges ranging from complex state management, client‑side Terminal integration, and data subscription pipelines that support numerous trading instruments.
Collaborative team culture
We love to learn together. We encourage collaboration, pair programming, and working on projects and technical designs as a team. We encourage involvement in Guilds, meetups, training, communities, and exploring all the learning opportunities that Bloomberg provides. We support side projects -- decide what matters to you and make a difference. Want to lead projects? We have many opportunities to take on a challenge and carve out a niche for yourself.
We’ll trust you to
Write rock‑solid code across the stack, including occasional inner‑source contributions to enhance the infrastructure we use, or to support our platform users. Take pride in your work and show ownership over its outcomes and consequences. Work with your colleagues within the team, in other Engineering teams and in Product. You will flesh out requirements, design and build new features and release them to users while keeping the system as stable as ever. Drive the incorporation of new technologies and improve development practices. Mentor others and encourage knowledge sharing in order to drive the growth of the team.
You’ll need to have
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Prior experience in JS/TS is not required but would be a plus.
- A strong software engineering mindset, especially in the quality and correctness of your work.
- Good communication skills and the ability to explain technical problems to non‑technical stakeholders.
- A desire to learn, understand and scale existing systems, sharing knowledge along the way.
We’d love to see
- Familiarity with Redux or React
- Experience leading large projects with multiple stakeholders
- Experience triaging and debugging production problems
- Experience mentoring junior engineers
