Bloomberg Ticker Plant builds software that manages the storage and distribution of Market Data in Bloomberg. 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. This often exceeds 100 billion unique events per day.
In Hong Kong, we’re building a new team to specialise in the market data we receive from venues across the Asia-Pacific region. The team will be responsible for the quality of that data, and will need to react to real-world changes to ensure our crucial financial information keeps flowing to our clients. In addition, the team will need to be proactive in improving Ticker Plant’s internal client interfaces, with a broad remit to improve user interfaces, tooling, and documentation.
Ticker Plant is made up of people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We value learning and development, continuous improvement and a positive and inclusive atmosphere within the team, all of which are crucial as we improve and maintain a large and complex system. Come join us!
