Description & Requirements

Bloomberg’s Engineering AI department has 400+ AI practitioners building highly sought after products and features that often require novel innovations. We are investing in AI to build better search, discovery, and workflow solutions using technologies such as transformers, gradient boosted decision trees, large language models, and dense vector databases. We are expanding our group and seeking highly skilled individuals who will be responsible for contributing to the team (or teams) of Machine Learning (ML) and Software Engineers that are bringing innovative solutions to AI-driven customer-facing products.

At Bloomberg, we believe in fostering a transparent and efficient financial marketplace. Our business is built on technology that makes news, research, financial data, and analytics on over 35 million financial instruments searchable, discoverable, and actionable across the global capital markets.

Bloomberg has been building Artificial Intelligence applications that offer solutions to these problems with high accuracy and low latency since 2009. We build AI systems to help process and organize the ever-increasing volume of structured and unstructured information needed to make informed decisions. Our use of AI uncovers signals, helps us produce analytics about financial instruments in all asset classes, and delivers clarity when our clients need it most.

We are looking for Senior NLP Engineers with a strong expertise and passion for Natural Language Processing research and applications to join our team.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods are used to process collections of unstructured and semi-structured texts in order to extract semantic meaning, enhance the quality of the data and derive actionable insights and analytics.

Broad areas of applications and interest include: information extraction, entity recognition and disambiguation, topic classification, sentiment analysis, text analytics, summarization, event detection, conversation mining, dialogue systems, semantic parsing, question answering or sentence representations.

• Collaborate with colleagues on production systems and write, test, and maintain production quality code
• Design, train, experiment, and evaluate NLP models, algorithms and solutions
• Demonstrate technical leadership by owning cross-team projects
• Stay current with the latest research in NLP and incorporate new findings into our models and methodologies
• Represent Bloomberg at scientific and industry conference and in open-source communities
• Publish product and research findings in documentation, whitepapers or publications to leading academic venues

You'll Need To Have

• Practical experience with Natural Language Processing problems, and a familiarity with Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Statistical Modeling techniques
• Ph.D. in ML, NLP or a relevant field and 2+ years of relevant work experience or MSc in CS, ML, Math, Statistics, Engineering, or related fields and 5+ years of relevant work experience
• An understanding of Computer Science fundamentals such as data structures and algorithms and a data oriented approach to problem-solving
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with engineering peers as well as non-engineering stakeholders.
• A track record of authoring publications in top conferences and journals is a strong plus
• Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch
