Senior Software Engineer - Data Distribution (Frankfurt)

At Bloomberg, data is our core business, and we need to deliver it with speed. This data typically comes in the form of trades, quotes, and other pricing data - to the tune of more than  60 billion unique events per day (and growing all the time) applied to millions of different instruments. In RDP (Real-time Distribution Platform), we build Bloomberg's data distribution infrastructure, which is one of the most rapidly growing businesses in the company. RDP provides low-latency market data and value-added Bloomberg data, via our open API (http://www.bloomberglabs.com/api/). We develop scalable, distributed, high-performance software that provides mission-critical data delivery to all Bloomberg desktop customers and a large number of enterprise-level applications.

Over last two years, we have built a new team in our Frankfurt office to work on the Rule Engine - a component of the system that provides configurable caching and data manipulation functionality - which is used to implement the business logic for the client-facing consolidated market data feed service. As a team, we work closely with other RDP teams in London and New York, as well as with some of the other teams in the Frankfurt office. In 2021, we are excited to be expanding the team further, and we want you to join us!
