The Bloomberg Terminal is a modern JavaScript based application. Implemented using a combination of open-source software such as Chromium, V8 and NodeJS as well as our own software implemented in TypeScript and C++.

We’ll trust you to:
- Develop the fundamental tools to automate the Terminal
- Work with TypeScript, C++, C#, Gherkin and more
- Work with Chromium/Webkit via the Chrome Devtools Protocol
- Implement a Chrome Devtools Protocol service
- Open the Terminal to be automated via existing OSS solutions
- Be on the cutting edge of shaping the developer experience
You’ll need to have:
- Demonstrated experience working with an object-oriented programming language (C/C++, Python, Java, etc.)
- JavaScript/TypeScript development experience at scale (preferably Electron or Node.js)
- A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience
