Frankfurt

Posted Jun 14, 2019 - Requisition No. 75585

At Bloomberg, data is our core business, and we need to deliver it with speed. This data typically comes in the form of trades, quotes, and other pricing data - to the tune of more than  60 billion unique events per day (and growing all the time) applied to millions of different instruments. In RDP (Real-time Distribution Platform), we build Bloomberg's data distribution infrastructure, which is one of the most rapidly growing businesses in the company. RDP provides low-latency market data and value-added Bloomberg data, via our open API (http://www.bloomberglabs.com/api/). We develop scalable, distributed, high-performance software that provides mission-critical data delivery to all Bloomberg desktop customers and a large number of enterprise-level applications.

RDP is currently spread across New York, London, and Tokyo, and we’re now expanding into Frankfurt - and we need an experienced technical manager to lead the way - this is where you come in! This new team will work on the Rule Engine - a component of the system that provides configurable caching and data manipulation functionality on the critical path of data distribution - which is used to implement the business logic for the client-facing consolidated market data feed service. You’ll lead your team in this development, while working closely with the rest of the RDP teams, located in London and New York.

We'll trust you to:

  • Inspire and motivate a high performing team to achieve great results, while supporting individual growth and development
  • Lead the development of technical solutions to meet current and future business needs
  • Establish best engineering practices that result in the highest quality in our products and service
  • Create a strong and collaborative team environment focused on delivering value and increasing our capabilities
  • Develop strong partnerships across globally-located internal development teams and business teams
  • Take risks: our fast paced environment will require you to rise to the challenge and strive to exceed expectations

You'll need to have:

  • The ability to foster a collaborative and inclusive team environment through driving a strong culture of teamwork
  • Demonstrated experience working with C++
  • The ability to contribute directly to projects through hands-on development as well as through effective delegation
  • The passion to develop business domain expertise in order to solve problems
  • Experience in all phases of the software development lifecycle
  • Excellent stakeholder relationship management skills
  • The ability to effectively listen to, communicate with, challenge and influence team members, peers and senior managers, locally and remotely
  • The desire to take ownership and responsibility of issues and handle effectively through to resolution

We'd love to see:

  • A diverse range of experience with a variety of programming languages and different tools
  • Experience working with a global team and stakeholders in various locations
  • Keen interest in keeping abreast of technological advances and proven success at incorporating new technology into existing systems

About Frankfurt:

This new team will join the more than 130 Bloomberg employees who call Frankfurt their home base, working across Engineering, Product, Sales, Operations, and News. As more financial and technology companies build out offices in Frankfurt, we are excited to be expanding our Engineering teams here. These engineering teams in Frankfurt span trading connectivity, market data distribution, and automated trading.
