About the Role

At BMLL we process terabytes of market data every day into a data feed of normalized historical data products. We have many customers, and many different ways our customers want to consume our data.

This role is an exciting opportunity for someone near the beginning of their career in technology to join us in the Datafeed Distribution team, where we develop and maintain the mechanisms that deliver data to our customers.

The promise we make is that however a customer gets BMLL’s data, they get it in the most efficient, cost-effective and timely manner possible. Performing that task is no mean feat, and requires overcoming a lot of obvious problems - but many more subtle ones. It’s a challenge but we thrive on it.

Our systems are engineered to a high standard. The technologies we use include cloud databases like Databricks and Snowflake, open table formats e.g., Delta and Apache Iceberg; Apache Airflow and Celery for data processing workflows. Most of our tooling is in Python and SQL, and everything we run internally runs on AWS.

Your job will involve contributing to ongoing the design and development of these systems, from basic architecture down to implementation of complex features, ensuring that what we own stays efficient, precise, scrutable, operable and error-free. Our team is crucial to the success of BMLL’s technology and commercial strategies.
