Senior C++ Software Engineer - Real-Time Market Data and News Feeds

Real-time market data is at the core of Bloomberg's business and our team develops the software which provides it. Our feed handlers directly consume real-time market data from hundreds of exchanges and financial institutions around the world and translate it into normalized streams. The data we provide is consumed by applications across the Bloomberg platform and ultimately used by clients making the decisions that drive financial markets. Performance and reliability are key features of our software. Our goal is to be the most comprehensive and reliable source of financial data in the world.

As a member of our team, you will immediately begin delivering software which has an impact on the company and our clients. You will collaborate with business units and other development teams to drive projects dealing with data across all asset classes. You will work on a variety of short and long term projects, both to address business needs and to continually improve our infrastructure. Join us to make a difference.

You'll need to have:

  • Experience working with C++, multi-threading and multiprocessing systems in a Unix/Linux environment.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of data structures and algorithms, and strong problem solving skills
  • Experience in all phases of the software development life cycle
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • A thorough understanding of the systems you've worked on
  • Fluency in English across speaking, reading, and writing

We’d love to see:

    • Experience with network protocols such as TCP, UDP and Multicast
