About Bloomberg:

Bloomberg L.P. revolutionized the financial industry 35 years ago by introducing the power of technology. Now there is a 700 trillion USD derivative industry in need of better tools and automation to make sense of the complexity, risks, pitfalls and regulations surrounding these financial instruments. Our team is building a one-stop solution to bring clarity, efficiency, and excellence to market professionals.

What is MARS?

Our Multi Asset Risk System (MARS) prices over 500 million complex financial instruments a day. Our industry-leading front-office, market risk and collateral analytics are used by over 2000 financial professionals across the globe. Performance is critical. The challenge is immense. We need you to help squeeze every ounce of performance out of our huge distributed pricing system. Innovation is key. Open source technologies such as Cassandra, Redis, Kafka and Spark are supported. Come join our exciting and dynamic team and help make the impossible possible!

What's in it for you?

You will work at the intersection of technology, finance and mathematics. C++ on UNIX is our language of choice, combined with JavaScript for anything front-end. But we like to keep our options open and also work with Java/Scala/Python where appropriate. You will join a team that applies unique technical solutions to analytical and algorithmic problems. Finally, you will get exposure to market expertise by collaborating with business managers, financial engineers and quantitative researchers.

• Take responsibility for the full software development life-cycle, from understanding the needs of the business through to coding and deployment. Your work will be highly visible, making you highly accountable
• Enjoy solving highly complex problems while understanding the scope and impact of your work
• Be quick, flexible, and an excellent collaborator
