Who are we?

Bloomberg absorbs billions of data points from hundreds of financial markets every day. Our developers build applications that fuel the markets by providing intelligent analytics and transparency into these markets. Our customers rely on us to understand markets and analyse complex structures which allow them to make smart investment decisions.

Our product (BVAL) is the gold standard for pricing. It generates end-of-day prices for over 2 million fixed income securities. Our suite of applications also includes high-precision pricing algorithms, liquidity hubs for storing and retrieving pricing information, and big data analytics. You'll focus on building high performance, high throughput systems that use advanced statistical techniques to generate the fastest, most accurate pricing information out there.

The reliability, stability, and scalability of this platform is key to our success - and that’s where SREs come in the picture. We are starting a new SRE team within our org who can help us improve stability & reliability of our systems and make it more transparent by setting up monitoring tools.This is a great opportunity to come join us as we start our SRE journey and help us succeed. You will have the opportunity to make a positive mark immediately and continuously as you work closely with other engineers.
