Senior Software Engineer- Market Data Services

Bloomberg’s data underpins the world’s financial systems, and the Real-Time Data platform (RDP) delivers it to hundreds of thousands of Enterprise and Terminal users. Every day, we’re consuming 100s of billions of ticks of data and delivering them to Bloomberg clients in real-time. We’re building the largest data distribution infrastructure in the world. Our clients rely on this data (such as equity prices) to be successful in their day-to-day trading and risk management. Given the scale, speed, and business critical nature of our product, we’re constantly focused on scalability, reliability and throughput.

If RDP is the platform for our customers to consume market data, the market data services (MDS) team provides the reference data that is needed by our customers to make financial decisions. It interfaces with various data sources and provides a consolidated view of the reference data consumable via API over the RDP distribution network. The MDS team also provides real-time related services such as resolution (think of DNS-like resolution) and initial paint.
