They load security, and check the price. The pricing for all fixed income securities comes from our group! Pricing sources like BVAL, IBVAL, CBBT, BGN and BMRK are all designed and innovated upon by our area. If you join our group, you will be driving one of the fundamental functions of the terminal!Bloomberg's Evaluated Pricing service, BVAL, supplies independent and transparent evaluated pricing daily for over 2.5 million securities across all fixed income asset classes, including thinly-traded and hard-to-price fixed income securities.FI Pricing Performance Engineering team builds systems that provide real-time observability, infrastructure management, and continuous delivery for Bloomberg's Pricing services. We partner with Bloomberg's Infrastructure teams, MSE, Runtime systems, and other Platform teams across the firm to build resilient infrastructure. We curate automated tools that use APIs provided by Bloomberg's Platform teams to design and build infrastructure that caters to the needs of application teams. Our infrastructure automation tools also include in-house service managers and resource management tools to manage our own Hadoop Infrastructure that hosts real-time Pricing. We build systems that leverage data collected from Bloomberg's global systems to provide performance metrics, detect anomalies, and generate alarms, with the ultimate goal of increasing the performance and reliability of our products for all clients by proactively detecting and resolving issues.We work closely with partners across the FI Pricing organization, as well as Product, Triage, and Incident Management teams, to ensure that our dashboards and alarms provide meaningful insight into system performance and our alarms deliver actionable information. These partners use our products to aid in incident response and reduce or eliminate the client impact of outages.In order to achieve all this, we're building distributed systems that run performance evaluations. We are heavy users of Kafka and GUTS for streaming data from A to B, with a few BAS services mixed in as well. All of our backend code for Infrastructure automation and Performance monitoring is written in modern Python. Our Rapid UIs are all Typescript, with an increasing investment in React UIs.
