Join the Pioneers of Trading Technology:Imagine working on a team that's revolutionising the way financial markets operate, with trillions of dollars traded on your systems every day.The Cross-Asset Trading System (CATS) Blotter is a powerful platform that provides a consistent base for Bloomberg trading applications. We provide infrastructure, frameworks and the frontend used at the core of some of the most demanding trading applications at Bloomberg.You’ll be building a scalable, reliable, high volume platform, and solving some of the toughest problems in software with industry experts.What we doWe design and build a reusable, business-agnostic platform that takes care of the fundamental use cases common to many trading workflows. In CATS, performance is critical and extensible architectural design is key so, by joining our team, you’ll face interesting technical challenges alongside your strong team of colleagues who value quality above all.As a Senior Software Engineer in CATS, you'll be part of a full-stack platform team that's pushing the boundaries of what's possible with TypeScript, Redux and React, as well as our Data Publishing Pipelines and backend services and getting the most out of the Bloomberg Terminal infrastructure. Our mission is to super-charge and unify the trading system worlds to reimagine how powerful trading systems are built at Bloomberg.Who we areWe are a friendly, collaborative team who care about what we do and working to improve ourselves and our systems every day. The onboarding experience is a priority for us: we have extensive onboarding documentation and videos, and you will be assigned a dedicated mentor who will support you from day one.

These complex systems showcase and interact with large volumes of data at high speed.Develop and deploy both frontend and backend systems with challenges ranging from complex state management, client-side Terminal integration, and data subscription pipelines that support numerous trading instruments.Collaborative team cultureWe love to learn together. We encourage collaboration, pair programming, and working on projects and technical designs as a team.We encourage involvement in Guilds, meetups, training, communities, and exploring all the learning opportunities that Bloomberg provides.We support side projects -- decide what matters to you and make a difference.Want to lead projects? We have many opportunities to take on a challenge and carve out a niche for yourself.We’ll trust you toWrite rock-solid code across the stack, including occasional inner-source contributions to enhance the infrastructure we use, or to support our platform users.Take pride in your work and show ownership over its outcomes and consequences.Work with your colleagues within the team, in other Engineering teams and in Product. You will flesh out requirements, design and build new features and release them to users while keeping the system as stable as ever.Drive the incorporation of new technologies and improve development practices.Mentor others and encourage knowledge sharing in order to drive the growth of the team.You’ll need to have3+ years of professional software engineering experience.Experience in modern programming languages with the desire to become a JavaScript/TypeScript expert.Prior experience in JS/TS is not required but would be a plus.A strong software engineering mindset, especially in the quality and correctness of your work.Good communication skills and the ability to explain technical problems to non-technical stakeholders.A desire to learn, understand and scale existing systems, sharing knowledge along the way.We'd love to seeExperience developing platforms, APIs, or plugin architecturesFamiliarity with Redux or ReactExperience leading large projects with multiple stakeholdersExperience triaging and debugging production problemsExperience mentoring junior engineers If indicated, please note that years of experience are a guide; we will consider applications from all candidates who can demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.
