Bloomberg’s Market Data platform powers critical analytics and real-time decision-making across global financial markets. We operate one of the largest, most latency-sensitive data pipelines in the world — ingesting, normalizing, storing, and distributing hundreds of billions of events daily across 100M+ instruments.
We’re adding team leads in two areas to support our growing Frankfurt engineering team:
- Market Data Feeds – high-volume exchange connectivity and normalization
- Market Data Storage & Retrieval – large-scale time-series storage and query infrastructure
If you're motivated by high-scale systems, rapid decision cycles, and the chance to shape new teams from the ground up, this is your arena.
What You’ll Lead - Build, coach, and develop a high-performing engineering team — hiring included.
- Drive architecture and delivery of scalable, low-latency, highly available systems.
- Instill an engineering culture centered on clarity, accountability, and quality.
- Partner with stakeholders to align priorities, manage expectations, and deliver iteratively.
- Collaborate across global engineering groups to evolve shared infrastructure and standards.
- Establish team vision, operating model, and cultural foundations
What You Bring - Experience managing and mentoring engineers in a fast-paced environment.
- A track record of delivering complex distributed systems or large-scale infrastructure.
- Strong communication skills and comfort navigating high-stakes, cross-team work.
- Technical leadership that balances execution with long-term strategic thinking.
- Recent, practical coding experience to participate in code reviews and handle scoped development work
- Strong hands on experience with C++
Nice to Have - Experience working with globally distributed teams.
- Background in real-time, high-throughput, or fault-tolerant systems.
- Exposure to financial market data or streaming data infrastructure.
Why This Role MattersYou’ll lead teams building the systems that sit at the core of Bloomberg’s data ecosystem—where reliability, speed, and correctness directly impact clients worldwide. The scope is large, the technical challenges are real, and the impact is immediate.
If you want to lead engineering teams solving some of the hardest real-time data problems at global scale, we’d like to talk.
