Description & Requirements

What We Do:

Ticker Plant DevX (TP DevX) is an engineering-first infrastructure team inside the Ticker Plant organization. We remove friction from the software lifecycle - modernizing builds, streamlining releases, and strengthening development workflows . Our mission: make it easier, faster, and more enjoyable for 100+ Ticker Plant engineers to deliver high-quality systems.

We do this by collaborating with Bloomberg-wide DevX teams so our solutions integrate seamlessly into the paved path stack and can be adopted centrally. At the same time, we advocate for Ticker Plant needs through design proposals, cross-team alignment, and data-driven decision making.

Why it Matters:

The Ticker Plant is Bloomberg's beating heart of market data. Active 24/7 with a follow-the-sun model, it ingests and processes over 500 billion events every day across 100M+ instruments, then publishes them in real time to hundreds of thousands of clients worldwide .

With more than 40 years of innovation , it remains one of Bloomberg's most complex and resilient systems - powering the Bloomberg Terminal and enterprise products that define global finance.

Every obstacle TP DevX removes for engineers strengthens this system, ensuring Bloomberg continues to deliver fast, reliable, and accurate market data to the world.

Our Technologies:

Most of the Ticker Plant codebase is written in C++ , with some components in Python . Our work often involves modern build systems ( CMake, Make, Ninja ) and requires reasoning about complex issues surfaced by compilers and linkers. Prior C++ experience is valuable, even if you won't be writing product code daily.

What's in it for You?

• Shape the engineering experience behind one of Bloomberg's most critical systems.

• See your work multiply across 100+ engineers, removing obstacles and unlocking impact.

• Gain exposure to large-scale infrastructure challenges: build systems, release pipelines, and observability.

• Work in a culture that values quality over deadlines and backs engineers to do things the right way.

• Grow in a collaborative, agile team that iterates quickly and adapts when needed.

We'll Trust You to:

• Define and enforce best practices that improve maintainability and align with Bloomberg-wide standards.

• Promote knowledge sharing through collaboration, documentation, and training.

• Enhance developer experience by partnering with Bloomberg DevX on shared tools and paved path solutions.

• Improve the codebase through refactoring, modernization, and optimization.

• Mitigate risk by addressing vulnerabilities, reducing complexity, and guiding migration away from legacy systems.

You'll Need to Have:

• 4+ years of experience in C++ or Python, or comparable systems-level experience.

• Solid grasp of software engineering fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, build/release workflows).

• A pragmatic, problem-solving mindset with attention to detail.

• Excellent communication skills for cross-team collaboration.

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field - or equivalent experience.

We'd Love to See:

• Experience with build systems, CI/CD pipelines, or developer tooling.

• Familiarity with large-scale distributed infrastructure or legacy modernization.

• Contributions to system design or architecture in complex environments.

• Passion for improving engineer workflows and setting high standards for DevX.
