Our Team:

News moves markets, and Bloomberg champions this concept. We are the second largest producer of news in the world, and ingest more than 1.5 million news stories per day from more than 120,000 different sources including social media. Our team plays a critical role in helping users manage this deluge of information by enabling them to optimally discover, monitor, and make sense of news in the broader context of the financial market.

Who are we?

Our platforms offer critical functionalities such as monitoring out relevance ranked news, real-time content retrieval of news story metadata, search query manipulation, personalization of news, and a distributed scheduling system to deliver a variety of news alerts. These systems power some of the most hit functions in the Bloomberg Terminal. Given the high visibility and usage of the products we work on, we strive to provide highly performant, robust, and scalable distributed systems.

Our team prides itself on incorporating various technologies (such as Kafka, Redis, Redux and in-house cutting edge technologies) to help us build systems and UIs serving millions of client requests daily. You will closely collaborate with our business partners and other teams within News and AI to deliver functionalities that allow Bloomberg to adapt to the constantly evolving news ecosystem and market demands.
