Job Opportunity at Bloomberg in NYC
Deng,
Good Morning.
I am contacting you regarding an opportunity at Bloomberg in NYC. I have included a job description for your review. Please call me or email me if you are interested. The job is a right-to-hire position; however, if your situation requires that you must be full-time initially, just let me know and I will accomodate your request.
The next step would be a pre-screening test which is conducted over the phone and takes about 10 minutes.
I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Thanks,
Chris Klein
917-497-1067
Bloomberg is looking for many bright UNIX C/C++ developers for their Midtown, NYC office – ideally with multi-threading and communications programming skills. Most importantly they want people with critical reasoning ability and who are intellectually curious.
Bloomberg is a privately-held Market Data and Financial News company with over 10,000 employees in 135 offices all over the world.
My firm, Genesis10, is a software recruiting and consulting firm. We are one of Bloomberg’s premier IT vendors in a special program where a significant part of the recruiting and technical screening process has been assigned to us for multiple C++ positions.
Here’s the job description….
The successful candidate will join one of our product-oriented team specializing in analytics and display of financial data in such areas as equities, bonds, derivatives, foreign exchange, commodities, mortgage-backed securities, structured products, or law.
Each application team is an entrepreneurial unit handling the complete development life-cycle of its products. Team members work every phase of development from requirements and design to production roll-out and test. Development is incremental, iterative, and always on a short time fuse.
This is an opportunity to join a diverse, industry-knowledgeable, technically skilled group of software engineers who design highly visible products on the platform.
Knowledge of the world financial markets is a definite plus but not a requirement. Superb application development skills, a strong user-orientation, and creativity are requirements.
Qualifications:
* 3- 5+ years hands-on C/C++ Development Experience on Unix (or equivalent expertise)
* Strong skills in User-Oriented Design
* Solid Understanding of Data Structures, Algorithms, and Object-Oriented design
* Working knowledge of Financial Markets a plus
* Practical Experience with Unit/ Regression Testing
* Practical experience with Version Control Systems
* Solid verbal and written Communication skills
* Ability to Coach and eventually Mentor team members * BS/MS/PhD Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Finance or Related Field (or equivalent expertise)
The arrangement is Right-to-Hire. It starts as a contract, and then, typically, after 6-8 weeks, if Bloomberg chooses to convert you, they will give you a full time offer and a relocation package if you are from outside the NYC metro area.
Why right-to-hire? It’s an opportunity for you to make sure that Bloomberg’s culture is a good fit as well as allowing Bloomberg to assess if you a good match in skill-set and ability to work in their unique environment. It’s a shorter interview process and easier way to be hired by Bloomberg, which is a notoriously difficult firm to get into. They are looking for the top 2% of software engineers. Members of the Genesis10 staff have carefully crafted the Bloomberg right-to-hire program coupled with a technical screening process that is highly successful. Most firms will get one offer for every 20 interviews at Bloomberg. At Genesis10, 40% of our Bloomberg Interviews will lead to an offer. In addition, a very high percentage of our right-to-hire candidates convert to full time. The rest that don’t convert will either remain as consultants, be placed on other assignments we may have at other clients, simply don’t work out or don’t want to stay in NY.
