The group is building a next-generation acquisition platform that delivers a unified data experience across Bloomberg’s enterprise ecosystem.

• Design and build the new data acquisition platform, including the new data dictionary system

• Improve data transparency and discoverability through metadata-driven APIs

You’ll need to have:

• 4+ years of experience in C++ or Python, with a focus on building scalable, high-performance systems
• Experience with distributed systems, data platforms, or API-driven architectures
• Commitment to building robust, transparent, and well-tested software
• Proven collaboration skills and the ability to work across multiple teams
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills

We’d love to see:

• A passion for solving interoperability and data transparency challenges
• A strong sense of ownership and drive to deliver effective solutions
• Interest in financial markets and how enterprise data powers client workflows
