Senior Software Engineer - Data & API Infrastructure

Description & Requirements

The Enterprise Product Platform (EPP) is the infrastructure layer behind Bloomberg's enterprise products. We build the data access and API platforms that power everything from trading workflows to risk and compliance systems.

If you're interested in large-scale distributed systems, developer platforms, or high-performance APIs used by some of the most sophisticated financial institutions in the world - this is where it all comes together.

Our organization includes two major platform areas:

Data Access Platform

We serve as the foundation for making billions of financial data points - both raw and derived - accessible to enterprise systems across Bloomberg. This includes sanitizing, validating, and exposing high-quality data to internal applications with extremely low latency and high throughput.

• We own ingestion pipelines, caching layers, access APIs, and short-term data storage systems.
• We are working toward a unified customer experience across all enterprise verticals, ensuring consistency and scalability as a core value proposition for the next decade of Bloomberg's product evolution.

API Platform

We are the programmatic interface between Bloomberg and our enterprise clients. Our work enables in- and outbound data integration for critical workflows such as order processing, compliance, and operational risk reporting.

• We focus on reliability, throughput, and operational transparency at scale.
• We support other teams within Bloomberg by providing tooling, infrastructure, and governance over our shared API vocabulary, enabling them to deliver robust, high-performance integrations without reinventing core infrastructure.
• Our integrations enable the daily business of asset managers, banks, and financial service providers worldwide.

Why Join Us?

• You'll be part of the team shaping the foundational platforms behind Bloomberg's enterprise product strategy for the next decade
• You'll have opportunities across multiple domains: high-throughput ingestion, distributed cache management, client-facing APIs, and developer infrastructure.
• You'll work on real problems of scale: massive datasets, latency-critical workflows, and APIs that must be correct, observable, and dependable.
• You'll join a collaborative, pragmatic engineering team that values craft and outcome over ceremony.

We Will Trust You To:

• Design and implement high-performance, scalable, and fault-tolerant systems that support financial transaction workflows and real-time data processing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance the scalability of data access and API platforms, influencing architecture and optimizing system throughput.
• Own the full software development lifecycle-from technical design to deployment-ensuring best practices in testing, automation, and performance tuning.
• Partner with product managers, engineering teams, and enterprise clients to deliver impactful solutions across Bloomberg's trading and data platforms.
• Leverage and explore technologies including distributed computing, event-driven architectures, and real-time analytics.

You'll Need to Have:

• 4+ years of experience working with C++
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent experience
• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system design
• Experience designing and maintaining high-throughput distributed systems or APIs
• Ability to collaborate across teams in a fast-paced, agile environment

We'd Love to See:

• Familiarity with scripting languages like JavaScript or Lua
• Experience working with trading systems, order/execution workflows, or real-time data platforms
• Knowledge of messaging systems like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or IBM MQ
• Prior contributions to large-scale distributed computing platforms
• Experience with REST APIs, WebSockets, and real-time event processing
• A bias toward building systems that empower other engineers

Sound Interesting?

Let's talk. Whether your interest lies in high-performance APIs, large-scale data processing, or building the tools that help other engineers succeed, there's room for you here.
