Are you targeting quantitative or conventional swe role at said hedge funds?
Maybe quant developer, but most likely whichever pays more.
In that case, Bloomberg would be the obvious choice. But bear in mind, much of the software @ Bloomberg could be described as "infrastructure" (most are solutions built for Bloomberg Terminal), with software therein being split into "platforms". It might then be obvious to you that you'll want to end up on platforms whose technologies are more closely related to front-office (quantitative) work rather than actual infrastructure; for example, think 'trading algorithms' & 'market analytics' vs 'database infra' & 'workflow automation'
