Bloomberg delivers critical information in a world where information matters. We give influential decision makers in business, finance and government an edge by connecting them to a dynamic network of news, people and ideas. To do that, we need a constant flow of ideas, energy, innovation—which is where you come in. At Bloomberg, you will have the opportunity to go above and beyond and to take risks.

Who we are:

Innovation in technology continues to increase at an unprecedented rate and no more so than in capital markets with the industry in the midst of a seismic transformation with technology at the heart of every business decision. As the dynamic continues to shift from the desktop to the enterprise, technology is enabling firms to significantly reduce their cost through workflow automation, artificial intelligence, and machine to machine interaction.

Bloomberg remains at the forefront of this transformation by providing a unique value proposition: we combine technology products developed specifically for capital markets with industry leading expertise necessary for the future Bloomberg customer operating in capital markets.

What do we do?

Enterprise Technology is responsible for the design, delivery, and ongoing support for firms wishing to outsource their connectivity and integration to Bloomberg.
