England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThorsten Klein is a seasoned C/C++ team lead with 13+ years of experience and over nine years driving sell-side electronic trading systems at Bloomberg in England. He combines deep Unix/Linux systems expertise, mathematics training, and a long history of modernizing legacy C codebases—opening modules to C++ and STL—to improve reliability and developer velocity. Previously he led and mentored distributed teams, reduced defect rates through targeted refactoring, and prototyped high-throughput, low-latency messaging architectures. Comfortable across the stack from shell scripting and SQL to Oracle and performance profiling, he brings a pragmatic engineering mindset focused on quality control and maintainable architecture. Thorsten’s background in accountancy-aware systems and early work on applied mathematics components gives him an uncommon appreciation for numerically sensitive, production-critical software. He’s actively seeking senior C/C++ challenges where analytical problem solving and hands-on leadership deliver measurable product improvements.
