Our team:

Our challenge is complexity at scale. As Bloomberg's Enterprise Data business has grown year over year, we see a massive explosion of financial data that our clients use. We need to build systems that support high volume data ingestion, large-scale data storage and distributed data processing. Our data captures the who, what, when, where and how of our clients' use of various Bloomberg Enterprise products. Our mission is to use this data to power operational use cases like invoicing as well as to feed our business intelligence systems. We are very sensitive to our customers' data privacy needs, and our goal is to ensure appropriate controls and audit-ability of our systems.

As an engineering consultant on the Metering team, you will help us build and improve our Enterprise Metering Platform to track billions of data points per day and apply various algorithms that drive our product commercials.

What's in it for you:

Starting with being a part of an awesome team that works hard, works smart and has a mission to leverage big data technologies to tackle our data processing at-scale problems.
