The Bloomberg Desktop API (DAPI) provides a powerful suite of tools bundled with the Bloomberg Professional service. This allows our clients to access market data, historical data, reference data, etc via desktop applications (such as Microsoft Excel) and do their own analytics. Our team builds state-of-the-art software for DAPI product management, configuration, customer service, and usage analysis.  Using AI Deep Learning, we assist product and risk teams to perform risk assessment and facilitate compliance via proper client workflows and upgrades to enterprise products.

Our day-to-day work includes a wide range of development opportunities, from brainstorming to design to coding. There are lots of new developments coming in the DAPI area to continue promoting the sales of Bloomberg terminals and to properly manage this usage to ensure it’s compliant. We are building a flexible framework for premium metering and continuing to enhance the risk assessment model; these offer ways for Bloomberg to manage, configure, and upsell premium data content.
