Bloomberg is seeking a Software Quality Engineer to support our Electronic Trading Applications Quality Assurance and Engineering teams. The team performs functional and automated software testing on Bloomberg’s Rule Builder (RBLD) and its integration with Bloomberg's Execution Management System (EMSX), specifically for listed securities.  RBLD is utilized by our clients to create custom rules that help them trade more efficiently. These rules help traders automate the easy trades, freeing up their time to concentrate on the complex & impactful trades where they can really make a difference. Traders can also use the Rule Builder to generate unique insights into their trades and market conditions. This is a highly complex real-time computation system that has the ability to merge multiple sources of data (market data, reference data, various benchmarks, execution and order transactional data), evaluate rules and trigger trading actions and insights in real-time.

You will be working with the Quality Assurance, Engineering, and Product teams to build out  automated testing needs with tight timelines.  In addition, a great deal of analysis of data input and output is expected.
