How do we describe the design challenges posed by one of the world's most important financial software ecosystems? Complex and vast, for a start. And that's what Bloomberg's Financial Products UX team lives for. Solving big issues and defining the user experience for a product where billions of dollars are at stake. This is a place for passion and dedication, ideas and humility, where seriousness of purpose and a sense of humor are the fuel we run on.

We are devoted to enhancing our company's flagship software platform - the iconic Bloomberg Terminal. The scale of the Terminal is vast - much like apps in an operating system. This gives our team a wide range of challenges and endlessly diverse opportunities to explore solutions for varied user types and domains. UX Design at Bloomberg is an ongoing re-imagining of 30+ years of evolution, constantly striving to understand our customers' needs and improve their experience.

Keeping everything going smoothly is a dream team of UX skillsets - from interaction design to prototyping, visual design to usability analysis. Much like the user experiences we shape, our team works together seamlessly, collaborating on projects senior management deems crucial for our customers. We get kudos as the company acknowledges and affirms the value we add to the product. And always, we're scouring the world for the best talent around to keep the momentum going.

What's in it for you:

The UX team is part of the larger Bloomberg culture - and that's a good thing. Palpable without being overwhelming, the ethos here is about energy and ideas, teamwork, performance. A flat structure offers meaningful access to senior management, and fuels interaction across the entire organization. Our global headquarters in New York City reflects this decidedly un-corporate culture with a stylish, open and dynamic workspace - an inspiring user experience of its own.

We'll trust you to:

• Update an extensive icon set and ensure they withhold their integrity/legibility at small pixel sizes for the duration of the contract (approximately 3 months)
