Every day, the Bloomberg systems analyze, process, and execute trading on trillions of data points. As engineers, we’re building the applications our clients rely on to not just stay informed, but stay ahead of the market. The applications and infrastructure we build embody the speed, agility and financial data that make Bloomberg the go-to for financial professionals across the globe.

Exchange Trading Connectivity (ETC) is an engineering group in Bloomberg that acts as a center of excellence for facilitating the transactional connectivity of Bloomberg’s various order and execution management systems to trading venues. In Europe, we are strengthening Bloomberg’s position as a leader in many markets by providing connectivity to major exchanges and venues, while continuously pushing the boundaries with our involvement in new connectivity across the trade life cycle. This helps the team in Europe - as well as ETC as a whole - to grow in new technical and functional areas.
