Senior Software Engineer

Bloomberg AIM (Asset and Investment Manager) is a buy-side trading platform used by some of the biggest asset managers in capital markets. Our platform is a one-stop shop that enables everything from idea generation to trade execution and post-trade operations. It’s a large scale system – built by more than 400 engineers – used to manage trillions of dollars each day by 930 global firms across over 80 countries. We’re the market leading platform, and Bloomberg continues to invest in our growth as a product and engineering team – that’s where you come in!

Our Team:

In the Compliance team, we tackle problems associated with large distributed systems such as latency and scaling, balanced with the need for reliability and accuracy required for a business-critical system. Over the next 2-3 years, we have multiple projects focused on keeping our clients ahead of the competition as well as organically rebuilding the platform in order to serve the growing number of tier-1 clients with a global footprint that transact in volumes we currently cannot support. Solving problems on this scale is hard and we’re always looking for fresh ideas and new technologies to leverage.

What’s in it for you?

The Compliance team builds systems which ensure that every transaction happening across the entire AIM platform is checked against 10s of thousands of rules. These rules ensure that no market regulation is violated, no illicit/manipulative activity is performed, and no activity that would put the client at financial risk takes place. We additionally provide the necessary tools to define and manage rules as well as deal with violations and provide trading supervisory overrides where applicable. Because our systems are in the critical path of real-time trading, throughput, latency and correctness are of paramount importance.

The impact of the Compliance product spans further than just AIM as it is also being used by the Sell-Side OMS (TOMS), various execution platforms and portfolio optimizers. The team is a core team under Compliance providing a solution for Creation, Business intelligence, Audit, Reporting, and Automation of Compliance Rules. Our team works closely with our business counterparts and quality engineering teams in an Agile environment. Our development processes include daily scrum, sprint planning, Github, developing unit/regression tests, conducting code reviews and automated coverage tests and CI/CD pipeline.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a strong background in system design, architecture, and the development of high-quality, modular, stable, and scalable software. Just as importantly, we value engineers who bring energy and enthusiasm - driving discussions, sharing fresh ideas, and championing best practices within their teams.

We'll trust you to:

• Take full responsibility across the software development lifecycle - from business requirements and architecture design to implementation, deployment, and ongoing maintenance
• Deliver enterprise-grade solutions that directly impact clients’ investment workflows and firm-wide operations
• Build distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable systems with strong observability, resilience, and automated testing from day one
• Design and implement technology that transforms complex client workflows into streamlined, high-impact solutions across global markets
• Partner with product managers, quantitative analysts, and infrastructure engineers to deliver measurable business value
• Manage technical projects and coordinate with multiple stakeholders to drive forward strategic initiatives

You'll need to have:

• 5+ years of demonstrated software engineering experience in C++
• BA, BS, MS, PhD in Computer Science, Engineering
• Experience designing, developing, and managing large-scale service-oriented systems
• Strong knowledge of object-oriented design, data structures and systems, and applications programming
• Experience with CI, CD and unit testing
• Experience building scalable systems with focus on code quality, system telemetry, and testing
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• A self-starter approach with a strong sense of ownership

We'd love to see:

• Experience leading or contributing to platform migrations without disrupting production systems
• Experience with or strong interest in applying AI/LLM-based approaches to solve problems in the financial domain
