You've seen the headlines. Financial firms are fined millions of dollars when just one employee does something they shouldn't. In a nutshell, companies (e.g. Broker-dealers) have regulatory obligations to perform surveillance of electronic communications, to ensure adherence to rules such as FINRA's Rules 3110 and 3120, CFTC's Dodd-Frank Act, FCA's MiFID II Directive, MAS 2.4.1, etc. Keeping track of who is saying, doing, and trading what is a pretty daunting task for compliance officers, especially with the explosion in the volume, ever-changing regulatory requirements and variety of data produced by communications platforms.

Bloomberg’s Surveillance Platform is a mission critical product used by key risk owners and compliance officers globally to meet the strict regulatory requirements in the financial world. At its core is a policy-driven engine capable of evaluating communications content and metadata in real-time, which produces violation events and customized reports. Officers use the web application to set up preventative policies (e.g. anti-money laundering, bribery, etc.) and information barrier policies appropriate to groups of users within their organization.

You will be joining the Engineering team responsible for all of Surveillance’s client-facing products. You will play a meaningful role in advancing the analytical capabilities over a growing number of communications channels (Bloomberg’s own MSG/IB, corporate emails, instant messages, social media feeds, corporate files, trade records, and voice). You will engineer reliable and performant business products on top of the latest in big data technologies.

Our ultimate goal is to help Bloomberg’s corporate clients to stay ahead of employees’ misconduct or punitive fines and be compliant in the shifting global regulatory landscape.
