Job description

Bloomberg Tradebook is looking for a strong senior engineer to join us in developing intelligent, performant systems that power our next-gen trading applications.

Tradebook offers a global, cross-asset electronic trading platform that supports equities, futures, and options trading. Our products are premium offerings fully integrated into the Bloomberg Terminal and accessible via various APIs. We partner with major brokers and clients to deliver precision execution and algorithmic performance.

You'll work closely with clients, business teams, quants, and product managers in an Agile, engineering-led environment. The team owns everything from market data processing to execution logic, and you'll have the opportunity to make immediate, high-impact contributions.

What You'll Work On

  • Develop scalable infrastructure to support high-throughput, low-latency systems to trade across global markets.
  • Build and optimize trading algorithms for real-time execution and analytics
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn trading ideas into scalable production code
  • Build testing tools to conduct performance and end-to-end testing.
  • Own and evolve key system components, ensuring reliability, observability, and speed
  • Continuously improve our SDLC through testing, CI/CD, and infrastructure tooling

Requirements

  • Experience in building distributed and scalable trading applications
  • At least 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, ideally working on production systems in a performance-sensitive environment
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to design large systems and data flows
  • Experience with a systems-level language (e.g., C++, Rust, Java, Go)
  • Ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced Agile environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience with C++, especially in a performance-critical or multithreaded context
  • Proficiency with Python for scripting, analysis, or prototyping
  • Familiarity with trading domain, exchange connectivity, and global market microstructure
  • Exposure to signal research, backtesting frameworks, or historical/realtime simulation tools

Benefits & conditions

Salary Range = 160000 - 240000 USD Annually + Benefits + Bonus

The referenced salary range is based on the Company's good faith belief at the time of posting. Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as geographic location, work experience, market conditions, education/training and skill level.

We offer one of the most comprehensive and generous benefits plans available and offer a range of total rewards that may include merit increases, incentive compensation (exempt roles only), paid holidays, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, short and long term disability benefits, 401(k) +match, life insurance, and various wellness programs, among others.
