The Ticker Plant is the beating heart of our market data infrastructure that pumps more than 100 billion discrete events to downstream applications and users every single day. Ticker Plant’s mission is to aggregate, enrich and disseminate real time market data ranging from niche hand-priced venues to the trading floors of the global financial system.

Ticker Plant is at the centre of Bloomberg’s market data infrastructure and Market Data Distribution (MDD) is a sub-system of that infrastructure. The MDD team is responsible for the coordinated movement of the ticks that describe those 100 billion+ discrete events. Whether for inbound or outbound data, our challenges are largely the same: to provide a platform that can ingest and redistribute data reliably, resiliently, at scale, globally and all in real-time with minimal latency.

We’ll trust you to:

• Join a global group in the early stages of a major multi-year system re-architecture
• Work on mission critical infrastructure
• Design robust, maintainable, high-performance code in a Linux/UNIX environment
• Take responsibility for the full SDLC, from understanding the needs of the business to coding, deployment and maintenance
• Closely work with a group of highly motivated, intelligent, and focused engineers

You’ll need to have:

• Demonstrated experience programming in C++
• A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience 
• An understanding of Computer Science fundamentals such as data structures and algorithms
• Prior contributions to system design and architecture and scaling fault-tolerant, distributed systems 
• A honest approach to problem-solving, and ability to collaborate with peers, stakeholders and management
