Market Data is information - trades, quotes, and other pricing data - gathered from around the world on every possible kind of financial instrument, from stocks and bonds to currencies and commodities. The Ticker Plant team builds software that handles over 80 billion unique Market Data events every day which we process, store and distribute to the Bloomberg Terminal and our Enterprise clients.

In the Ticker Plant Model API team (MAPI) we own the data model implementation and abstractions as well as the interfaces into and out of the Ticker Plant, putting us right at the heart of Bloomberg’s data. We have a large remit to make improvements, for example our current major project is to enrich the data heavily relied on by the Bloomberg Terminal and our Enterprise clients. This means designing, developing, and deploying strategic changes from exchanges through to clients.

• have a passion to succeed and remove impediments in your way and aren’t fazed by problems but see these as an opportunity to solve 
• are happy with a level of autonomy and engage in teamwork to motivate each other and achieve the best results for our customers

• Mindset and experience with quality assurance and testing

We’d love to see:
