About Bloomberg:

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 clarity, efficiency, and excellence to market professionals.

What is MARS?

Our team is known for Bloomberg’s flagship Multi Asset Risk System (MARS) that prices over 500 million complex financial instruments a day. Our industry-leading front-office, market risk and collateral analytics are used by over 2000 financial professionals across the globe. Performance is critical and the challenge is immense, so we need you to help squeeze every ounce of performance out of our huge distributed pricing system. Innovation is key, and open source technologies such as Cassandra, Redis, Kafka and Spark are supported.

We have a start-up culture with 40 engineers in London and a sibling team in New York. We all come from different backgrounds with different levels of experience. We are looking for the next rising star who has commercial experience, is keen to tackle exciting challenges, take on responsibilities, and is eager to progress with their learning and development from our experienced engineers. Come join our exciting and dynamic team and help make the impossible possible!

What's in it for you?

You will work at the intersection of technology and finance. C++ is our main language on UNIX, combined with JavaScript for anything front-end. We believe being language agnostic is the way we develop software as we move forward, and we work with Java/Scala/Python where appropriate. You will join a fun 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 without the corporate formality.

We’ll trust you to:

- Take responsibility for the full software development life-cycle, from understanding the needs of the business through to coding and deployment. Your work will be highly visible, making you highly accountable, and in pole position to contribute and make a difference

- Enjoy solving highly complex problems while understanding the scope and impact of your work

- Be quick, flexible, and an excellent collaborator

- Partner with other product teams and customers diligently. You should be able to explain technical concepts in a non-technical way and be passionate about your solutions

You’ll need to have:

- BS or MS in computer science or related degree

- Commercial experience in a Software Engineering role covering the full development life-cycle

- Commercial Proficiency in any of the following programming languages: C++ / Java / Python

- Deep understanding of object-oriented design, data structures and algorithms

- A keen interest to know more about how risk is managed in the financial world

- A true desire to become a full stack engineer

We’d love to see:

- A passion for technology and strong collaboration skills

- A strong desire to learn and work closely with junior and senior engineers

- Examples of any tech related activities or hobbies/interests
