Senior Software Engineer – Application Frameworks
Our team:
We develop and maintain robust and reliable systems that allow quick processing, storing, and distribution of data. We are inventors and architects, creating tools for operational monitoring, measurement and management of very large systems. Some of the projects we’re working on include: protocol development, wire formats, drivers, APIs, security, cloud infrastructure, hardware specific tuning for Linux, Solaris, and AIX, bandwidth optimizations, low/ultra-low latency, communication networks, IDE development, UI, and large-scale C++ software design and architecture.
We specialize in UI Infrastructure and build platforms and toolkits used by thousands of engineers at Bloomberg. Our team owns server-side and client-side execution environments, along with custom UI toolkits that facilitate rapid financial application development. UI Infrastructure engineers are expected to design and implement high performance UI systems, primarily in C++ and JavaScript, that integrate efficiently with real-time data and have user friendly APIs. Our next priority is implementing programmer-facing tools and deployment mechanisms for debugging, profiling and releasing applications. And if that is not enough, we develop and maintain many features of the Bloomberg Professional Service, including hosting and execution of applications, intra-application communication, data-sharing and virtual desktop management.
