Financial firms rely on dozens of critical systems to develop and execute strategies, evaluate risk, track P&L, lead sales and trading, and handle settlement. The constant challenge is the complexity of integrating these systems so that data moves correctly across the enterprise, at higher speeds and lower costs. Building solutions in-house can take a large team and a larger investment. Integrators and consultants may not understand a firm’s business model or data. That’s where we come in.

Here at Bloomberg Connectivity and Integration Services (CIS), we help firms run that complexity. Providing common tools, services and expertise, we enable firms to simplify technology relationships, which ultimately drive lower total cost of ownership, faster time to market and improved transparency. With our track record in delivering hosted solutions and our understanding of our customers’ needs, we believe we are uniquely positions to help clients with this challenge.

In addition to data connectivity and transformations, our products also allow clients to code up to our API's in order to programmatically in either a server or desktop architecture.

We’ll trust you to:

  • Design, configure and deploy the integration of trading interfaces between Bloomberg and clients
  • Manage your time effectively and to multi-task in a fast paced, performance driven environment
  • Be responsible for the successful completion of integration projects

You'll need to have:

  • A technology background, with some programming / scripting experience
  • Proven ability to independently drive successful engagements with customers
  • Capital Markets knowledge with understanding of buy & sell-side order management workflows
  • Excellent written/oral communication skills
  • Ability to manage client expectations

We'd love to see:
