We’re Bloomberg.

We provide our users with up to the millisecond market moves and analytics as well as connecting them with their counterparts and the wider community of 325,000 Bloomberg Terminal subscribers.

What’s the role?

You will be a senior Quantitative Developer who will join a fantastic team in New York who produce high quality Financial Modeling software. We have an **awards winning** innovative product employing "cutting edge" solutions and technologies (including significant functional programming investments in the [OCaml](http://ocaml.org) programming language). You will be working within a team of 50 or so Quantitative Analyst and Computer Scientist professionals developing software libraries; implementing numerical analysis applied to the valuation and risk management of derivative securities. So you’ll need to be fluent in practical mathematics, experienced at software design & implementation and have effective communication and interpersonal skills.

  • Intimate familiarity with STL (structures and algorithms)
  • Working experience with all of Visual Studio/gcc/clang
  • "At home" on both Linux and Windows
  • Competent scripting and shell skills (e.g. Python, bash)
  • Comfortable with git and systems administration
  • Outstanding oral and written communication skills
  • Advocate for Continuous Integration, testing and modern software engineering practices (including peer reviews and technical documentation)
  • Self-reliant collaborator who loves sharing knowledge, helping people and interacting with others;
  • An exhibitor of attention to detail, someone who strives for excellence but knows when and how much to let go when circumstances demand

We'd love to see:

  • Knowledge/experience with Google Protocol buffers
  • Understanding of concurrency in C++
  • Exposure to cluster/grid computing
  • Experience in symbolic computation and/or functional programming (or a desire to learn)
