Solutions Architect, Enterprise Services - Financial Solutions

at  Bloomberg

Financial firms rely on dozens of critical systems to develop and execute strategies, evaluate risk, track P&L, lead sales and trading, and handle settlement. The constant challenge is the complexity of integrating these systems so that data moves correctly across the enterprise, at higher speeds and lower costs. Building solutions in-house can take a large team and a larger investment. Integrators and consultants may not understand a firm’s business model or data. That’s where we come in.
Here at Bloomberg Enterprise Technology Solutions, we help firms run that complexity. Providing common tools, services and expertise, we enable firms to simplify technology relationships, which ultimately drive lower total cost of ownership, faster time to market and improved transparency. With our track record in delivering hosted solutions and our understanding of our customers’ needs, we believe we are uniquely positions to help clients with this challenge.

As an Integration Architect in Enterprise Technology Solutions supporting our growing business, you will be responsible for technical integration between our clients and Bloomberg’s premier applications. Integrations often involve crafting and deploying solutions for clients utilizing XML/FIX messaging and API’s between their systems and the Bloomberg cloud.
Typical engagements can include the use of real-time XML and FIX messaging, data transformations; batch based processes, FpML, SWIFT messaging and other protocols as well as MQ, FIX, TCP/IP, FTP, WebAPI, WebSocket and ODBC connectivity between the client on premise and Could and the Bloomberg Cloud. In addition to data connectivity and transformations, our products also allow clients to code up to our API programmatically in either a server or desktop architecture.
