By bringing together our Data Acquisition, Data Platform, and API Platform initiatives, we build high-performance, scalable solutions that power Bloomberg’s most critical enterprise products. Our mission is to enhance transparency, efficiency, and integration capabilities for Bloomberg’s enterprise clients, supporting both buy-side and sell-side firms across a wide range of financial products and trading workflows. Our team supports mission-critical workflows across multiple business areas while continuously expanding and generalizing our platforms to address new use cases. We are a collaborative, close-knit engineering organization seeking talented developers who are passionate about building scalable, resilient systems and shaping the next generation of our architecture. Our organization is built around three core pillars: Data Acquisition Platform: A robust platform for acquiring, validating, and delivering high-quality financial and analytics data. Integrated across Bloomberg systems, it enables clients to seamlessly incorporate data into their workflows through reliable, adaptable, and efficient services. We are currently building the next generation of this platform to further expand its capabilities and scale. Data Platform: A highly scalable, low-latency data layer that manages hundreds of terabytes of instrument analytics and reference data. Our platform processes trillions of read and write operations daily across hundreds of machines, leveraging high-performance C++ services and distributed technologies. By providing reliable access to massive datasets, we enable product teams to build sophisticated features, support accurate reporting, and help clients make data-driven decisions. API Platform: A scalable foundation for secure, high-performance APIs that power critical financial services. We provide the tools, frameworks, and governance that enable teams to build innovative products with consistency and reliability. A key component is our high-throughput data ingestion platform, which supports large-scale portfolio, transaction, pricing, and custom-data uploads through highly parallelized batch-processing pipelines.
