About the Role

• At BMLL we process financial data in a process we call parsing. We continually add new financial datasets to our platform whilst upgrading and improving existing ones. Parsing occurs in well defined data pipelines built using a distributed architecture. The engineering of the pipeline is as important as the data transformation process, and we are constantly working to improve its performance and reliability. We curate the data to ensure the highest quality of delivery to our customers. Every day we consume over 1TB of new data across 750,000 securities to deliver into our platform, our dashboard products and data services. These are accessed by our customers who are dependent on our services for their own workflows.
• The majority of our data processing code is written in C++, and Python is used extensively in orchestrating workflows and managing reference data.
• We are looking for a C++ Developer to build and maintain data parsers that ingest and process market data and reference data, improve processes and reliability for managing these large datasets using the latest AWS technologies, and become an expert in understanding the data and the way we curate and process it.
