We believe people are at the heart of software. We believe that by encouraging an environment where people are respected, we can help teams realize their potential and deliver great products to our clients. The Ticker Plant Agilists Group at Bloomberg is a team committed to these values. This is who we are. If it’s who you are, read on to learn more about our exciting opportunity.

Bloomberg is the central nervous system of global finance, and the Ticker Plant is at the core.

We'd love to see:
