At Bloomberg, you will have the opportunity to go above and beyond and to take risks.nbsp;/divdivbr/divdivFinancial firms rely on dozens of critical systems to develop and execute strategies, evaluate risk, supervise Pamp;L, lead sales and trading, and handle settlement. The constant challenge is the complexity of integrating these systems so that data moves accurately 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, or not offer the ongoing support required to maintain and improve the solution once live./divdivbr/divdivThat’s where we come in.
