Senior Software Engineer - Fixed Income Trading

Bloomberg’s Fixed Income Trading systems offer end-to-end trading workflows including price discovery and negotiation, real-time analytics/pricing, execution and straight through processing (STP), and are fully integrated with the Bloomberg terminal and enterprise solutions. We are the engineering team behind the world’s largest over-the-counter (OTC) electronic trading (ET) platform.

Our platforms have been at the heart of recent market structure changes, driven by trade automation and regulation. Clients are actively looking to cut costs by switching to more automated and efficient ways of trading, and regulators are pushing for more transparency and systemic controls to prevent another financial crisis. This is an exciting time to be in this space as we embark on projects that cater to these needs and leave a lasting impact on financial trading markets.

We own several distributed, fault-tolerant, highly transactional and low-latency applications that are critical to traders that have an impact on the global economy on a daily basis. We constantly evaluate new technologies to ensure creative solutions. We take pride in our product and partner closely with business and sales teams to influence product design.  We embrace Agile development methodology, test-driven development and best of breed SDLC practices.
Given the sensitivity of our platforms, we take quality and stability seriously. 

FI Electronic Trading team is currently building out a number of new systems to support continuing automation and “electronification” of fixed income markets, which will further raise the bar in terms of capacity and throughput, while allowing our clients to interact and transact in new and innovative ways.  We are adding entirely new trading workflows, and designing new applications from the ground up to provide financial analytics alongside execution capabilities.
