Bloomberg L.P. revolutionized the financial industry 35 years ago by introducing the power of technology. Now there is a 700 trillion USD derivative industry in need of better tools and automation to make sense of the complexity, risks, pitfalls and regulations surrounding these financial instruments. Our team is building a one-stop solution to bring transparency, efficiency, and excellence to market professionals.

The Multi Asset Risk System (MARS) team works extensively with groups across the company including trading systems, quantitative teams, pricing and market data teams and business management.

You will apply broad financial and mathematical knowledge across a range of asset types to develop analytics.

You will be part of a team that applies unique technical solutions to analytical and algorithmic problems. Finally, you will get exposure to market expertise by collaborating with business managers, financial engineers and quantitative researchers.

We'll trust you to:

  • Design, code, implement and test new features of the MARS and Bloomberg Valuation (BVAL) platforms (mostly C++)
  • Work with product managers to translate and understand product specifications
  • Run projects - including estimation, scheduling, milestone creation, risk management and status reporting

You'll need to have:

  • 2+ years of software engineering experience in object-oriented programming such as C++, Java, C#
  • Strong communication, analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Experience with or interest in full software development life cycle activities - requirements management, technical design, implementation, testing/release
