Senior Software Engineer - Multi-Asset Indices (Analytics)

Passive investment is a huge growth area in finance. And indices – whether benchmark or bespoke strategies – underpin that growth. Bloomberg is a major player in this space and we're responsible for some of the most recognisable and innovative indices across all asset classes. 
This is because we’re able to combine our best-in-class index systems with unparalleled breadth of trusted data and research. Billions of dollars are linked to our products!

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced software engineer to come and join the team that builds the core index calculation and analytics logic. This will involve getting to grips with the underlying financial concepts and investment ideas, as well as grappling with the software engineering challenges of building out a scalable system that can match our ambitious growth plans.
