distribution services. You will be responsible for managing the entire life cycle of your applications from requirement gathering, and initial development through to QC and maintenance.
Most feed software development involves low level networking protocols such as TCP, UDP (unicast/ multicast). Some feeds use Java, XML, Python or suitable internet technology as an adapter to our real-time feeds environment, as may be dictated by exchanges. C++ and python frameworks are used for developing object-oriented real-time feeds. Tools such as quantify, purify, etc. are used to remove source code vulnerability. ClearCase is used for source control to facilitate cross-office concurrent software development for the global business of exchange pricing. In addition to developing high performance software, expect to learn more about the financial markets and Bloomberg's real-time pricing applications that are nourished by exchange data.
