Who we are:

In global markets, buy-side and sell-side professionals strive to achieve the best execution across multiple asset classes. Our Electronic Trading Operations (ETO) team is responsible for ensuring the implementation, stability, and reliability of those offerings.

We implement new connections and detect, analyze, and resolve issues impacting applications and connectivity with clients, vendors, exchanges, brokers, and ATS venues. We ensure seamless performance with our Electronic Trading platforms through interaction with Bloomberg Product areas, Network Operations, Engineering, and Bloomberg’s clients.

We are ambitious and set ourselves tough business goals. We are a meritocracy, where everyone has a voice - not a job title. Working with people you trust, respect, and can collaborate with is more important than titles or position.

Bloomberg is so much more than the products and services we deliver to our customers. We use data and analytics to organize, understand and improve our world. We give back - through the vast majority of our profits going to Bloomberg Philanthropies and through our countless volunteer projects. We bring out the best in the communities around us too. You can do amazing work here. Work you couldn't do anywhere else.

You come to work with a purpose. You work fast and hard, understand what urgency means to a trader, are curious and take pride in being customer service driven.

  • Provide client feedback to the Product team collated through the certification process

You’ll need to have:

  • A technical curiosity with a passion for customer service and a genuine interest in financial markets
  • Experience in UNIX and Linux operating systems and commands, troubleshooting LAN / WAN, and in Middleware connectivity (TCP/IP, MQ, UDP)
