The Bloomberg Terminal platform hosts over 10,000 unique applications that underpin the global financial markets. Our Application Frameworks group develops the platform that our 5,000 engineers depend on to build robust tools for our users. In the Application Toolkits team, we provide the framework for building client-facing applications at Bloomberg. We own the server and client-side runtime environments, developer-facing APIs, widget library and rendering engine for applications.

We are always extending our toolkit to support new feature requests as they come from other development teams at Bloomberg, and also help set the technical direction for where this toolkit will go in the future. This includes evaluating new technologies and frameworks to assess their viability and scalability for use in our tech stack. Our tech stack is primarily split between C++ and JavaScript.

Our team in London is building out a company-wide testing infrastructure for Engineers and QA teams to use. Our ultimate goal is to create a new toolkit that is compatible with modern external test tools so engineers can use whatever testing technology works best for their application. This will enable QA to be more efficient and ensure that our developers have everything they need to build the best products for our clients.
