The Data Technologies Web Services team provides web-based solutions to facilitate the acquisition of new data streams from outside parties into the Bloomberg ecosystem. Our solutions include full end-client applications, such as OpenFIGI.com and lei.bloomberg.com, web application tools such as Annex, and crowdsourcing solutions that the team maintains and is continually improving. 

As more and more teams in Bloomberg Global Data start to focus on the speed and quality of data sets, our team is creating a new web-based portal to support these emerging use cases. The web portal would replace many existing manual steps, and enable a streamlined workflow process with a schema-driven web form, scalable API endpoint, and performant batch processing, which would integrate with various teams’ backend workflows. We will utilize an array of open source technologies, along with Bloomberg’s infrastructure technologies.

We are looking for a strong software engineer that has a passion for web application development, strong design/implementation skills integrating multiple external/internal systems, and a strong desire to help bring Bloomberg’s data workflow efforts to the next level.

•  Understand the needs of our clients, and come up with efficient and innovative approach to translate them to features and enhancements to the platform
•  Keep bringing the latest and greatest innovation and technology stack from open source community to our products 

 
You’ll need to have:


•  Excellent problem solving and communication skills, and the ability to thrive in a highly collaborative and dynamic work environment
•  Extensive experience building comprehensive, scalable, and extensible client-side apps with JavaScript (ES2015+), Node.js and front-end development frameworks/tools, such as React, Angular, Vue, Webpack, Babel etc.
•  A familiarity with Python
