Our teams are also responsible for Notes and Contact Management systems, News, Market Alerts and Monitoring applications.

  • Take responsibility for the full software development life-cycle, from understanding the needs of the business through to coding to deployment and maintenance. Your work will be highly visible, making you highly accountable
  • Understand your product area deeply. You will partner closely with product and with UX design teams to deliver the exactly what is needed by our customers
  • Thrive under the speed of change. You will love being in an environment that is constantly evolving

Collaboration

We aim to build the next generation of collaboration tools, namely with our Contact Management, Note taking and Sharing applications. We allow Bloomberg customers to seamlessly interact with their colleagues, clients and friends in a way that is both fast and transparent.
Our real strength comes from the fact that our applications are not isolated silos, we provide frameworks and APIs to allow other engineering teams to interact with our systems and add collaboration to their own software. Where possible we embrace open source solutions and contribute back where possible.
We prize good design, an ability to build highly resilient, low latency systems and a passion to adapt and try out new things.

We are extremely proud of our diverse and open culture, and value diversity of thought and perspective in every form. We're looking for engineers with a passion for writing reusable, efficient solutions to complex problems, who can adapt to an ever-changing market landscape, and who can collaborate and work effectively on small teams to develop software that impacts thousands of power users around the world.
