Bloomberg’s data underpins the world’s financial systems, and the Real-Time Data Distribution Platform delivers data to hundreds of thousands of Enterprise customers and Bloomberg Terminal users. As one of the largest financial data distribution infrastructures globally, we provide the foundation for success in key areas such as trading, analytics, portfolio and risk management, and more. Clients depend on our data for their daily operations, making scalability, reliability, and performance the cornerstones of our mission.

The Bloomberg API, known as BLPAPI and also called Software Development Kit (SDK) is the window to the real-time data distribution platform. Our team develops and maintains the API that empowers clients to build applications accessing a vast array of global data. Designed for performance and flexibility, our API is multi-threaded, asynchronous, and implemented in four different languages, including C++, Java, Python, and C#. This unique setup allows our engineers to explore and leverage the strengths of multiple languages while developing deep expertise in a chosen one. Our work is centered on designing and implementing solutions to complex distributed systems challenges, all while continuously expanding the API's feature set to meet evolving client needs.

As the owner of a client-facing product, we are deeply committed to meeting our clients’ needs and delivering exceptional quality. Close collaboration with the Enterprise Data product team provides us with valuable external feedback, helping us continuously enhance our product and service.

Our team manages a robust Jenkins-based build, testing, and release pipeline across all platforms: Linux, Windows and macOS. Additionally, we partner with an external contractor team to develop and maintain an integration testing framework. Beyond our own efforts, our software undergoes comprehensive testing by a dedicated QA team, ensuring it meets the highest standards before reaching our clients.

Our team is seeking a talented Senior Software Engineer to join us in shaping and advancing our indispensable platform, driving innovation at an unparalleled scale and impact.
