Application Frameworks

As a member of the Application Frameworks team, you will work on a high-performance C++ library that implements a variety of transformation algorithms on large tables of constantly updating data. This transformations can be from simple sorting and filtering, to complex aggregations, SQL joins, or evaluations of Excel-like equations. This library is one of the core frameworks used by thousands of Bloomberg developers to write applications that can handle large amounts of financial data

You will improve our libraries by adding new features, optimizing both the time and memory of existing code, and working on tools that help our developers visualize their transformation pipeline and identify performance issues.

We are at the core of the Bloomberg Terminal and the code we write must be heavily tested, maintainable, and well documented. We are looking for a strong C++ developer with a passion for optimization, algorithms, and designing clean, reusable APIs.

Connectivity & Integration Solutions (CIS)

The CIS (Connectivity & Integration Solutions) group is changing the way our clients connect and integrate with Bloomberg. We build solutions for secure, high throughput and low-latency data transfer. We allow clients to manage their full integration with Bloomberg products through a single system available online and in the Bloomberg Terminal.

This is an area that is growing rapidly. With ever increasing demands for more capabilities in data transformation and analytics, we are building out an architecture using a combination of third party, open source and in house technologies to scale to meet these demands.

A successful applicant would be joining the Bloomberg CIS London Integration team.
