The Company

Bloomberg is the leading global provider of data, news and analytics. The BLOOMBERG
PROFESSIONAL service and Bloomberg's media services provide real-time and archived
financial and market data, pricing, trading, news and communications tools in a single,
integrated package to corporations, news organizations, financial and legal professionals and individuals around the world.

The Role

As part of the R&D Feeds development team you will write multithreaded applications on UNIX/C/C++ platforms to ensure that real-time exchange-distributed pricing is efficiently received and delivered for processing by Bloomberg applications, databases and pricing distribution services. You will be responsible for managing the entire life cycle of your applications from requirement gathering, and initial development through to QC and maintenance.
Most feed software development involves low level networking protocols such as
TCP, UDP (unicast/ multicast). Some feeds use Java, XML, Python or suitable
internet technology as an adapter to our real-time feeds environment, as may be
dictated by exchanges. C++ and python frameworks are used for developing object-
oriented real-time feeds. Tools such as quantify, purify, etc. are used to
remove source code vulnerability. ClearCase is used for source control to facilitate cross-office concurrent software development for the global business of exchange pricing. In addition to developing high performance software, expect to learn more about the financial markets and Bloomberg's real-time pricing applications that are nourished by exchange data.
