What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer - Electronic Trading Allocation Infrastructure position at Bloomberg L.P.?
Description & Requirements
Who we are
We are the engineering team behind the world's largest over-the-counter (OTC) electronic trading platform, supporting Fixed Income bonds, ETFs, Interest Rate Swaps (IRS), Credit Default Swaps (CDS), and equities. Our systems power end-to-end trading workflows-from price discovery and execution through allocation and straight-through processing (STP)-serving some of the world's largest asset managers and financial institutions. As market structure evolves through automation, portfolio trading, and increasing regulatory demands, we are building the next generation of trading infrastructure to drive transparency, efficiency, and scale across global markets.
Within this ecosystem, our team owns the allocation infrastructure, the critical first step in the post-trade lifecycle. We build high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems that process trades across asset classes with speed, accuracy, and reliability. Our allocation platform facilitates and is deeply integrated with both buy-side and sell-side OMS workflows, enabling seamless post-trade processing across trading channels. This platform underpins downstream workflows such as settlement and regulatory reporting. We are actively modernizing our architecture to improve scalability and resiliency, reduce system coupling, and support increasing volumes from complex trading workflows.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and build performance critical systems using C and modern distributed architectures. You'll work on highly concurrent, event-driven services and collaborate closely with engineering, product, and trading teams to deliver robust, scalable solutions in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.
