C++ Developer with Database design experience recruitment

Bloomberg's Trading Systems team is looking for an experienced and delivery-focused C/C++
developer to enhance its state-of-the-art trading platform.

The Bloomberg Trading System is a comprehensive solution for the global trading community,
providing trade capture and position management whilst leveraging Bloomberg's Market
leading data, news and analytics throughout the workflow of the system. Our clients rely on
the Bloomberg Trading System for business critical applications such as market compliance,
market connectivity, risk management, pricing, and Straight Through Processing.

The day-to-day role involves working on the trade event audit system which captures all of
our customer's activity. The data is primarily stored in Oracle and presented in both near
real-time activity blotters and archive reports spanning many years.

Clients rely on the system for their regulatory reporting and as such it must be robust even
while processing huge volumes of data (both during storage and retrieval). Current and
future projects include enhancing performance and scalability, improvements to the quality
of data captured and new ways to analyse and present this valuable data to our clients.

Responsibilities cover the full development lifecycle from working closely with internal
business groups, gathering and clarifying requirements to building, delivering and maintaining
the software. The environment is fast-paced with opportunities to progress.

Requirements
- Strong and extensive C++ development skills
- Experience with enterprise-level database design and application
development (preferably Oracle; any major RDBMS sufficient)
- Demonstrate professional experience of object-oriented design, using data
structures, systems and applications programming
- Multi-threaded programming skills
- Working knowledge of UNIX, including scripting
- Exceptional problem solving skills
- Strong communication skills
- Finance experience not essentia
