Senior Software Engineer - Functional Integration

Senior Software Engineer - Functional Integration Location New York Business Area Engineering and CTO Ref # 10051259 Description & Requirements We are a team of technologists that provides Functional Integration solutions as a product to our clients across various financial institutions, as well as software infrastructure within Bloomberg. Our team is part of the Enterprise Products Platform (EPP) group, with a special domain focus on facilitating machine-to-machine interaction between our clients’ systems and the products Bloomberg offers. Our clients are primarily financial institutions in the capital markets, and the Bloomberg products they typically use include market data, trading systems, portfolio solutions, and risk analytics. Functional Integration solutions are among the most commonly used software offerings in EPP, as they serve as the primary systems for transferring bulk data files between our clients’ applications and Bloomberg analytics. The files processed by these systems contain business-critical financial data such as clients’ positions, transactions, private securities, and pricing information. The number of files handled daily is very large and growing rapidly. Therefore, one of the main goals of the engineering team is to provide stable and scalable backend systems leveraging cloud-based object storage, distributed systems, and microservice architecture. There is also a strong focus on full-stack development so that we can provide sophisticated user interfaces to our customers, as well as web-based tooling for the Bloomberg Enterprise Service team to support clients’ complex workflows involving data mapping, data enrichment and overrides, encryption, and decryption. Our technologies We develop our software using a combination of open-source, third-party, and in-house technologies. As engineers, we strive to balance selecting the best technology for a problem with managing the risks of using exploratory technologies.
