Meet our team:

The Geospatial Workflows team is part of the Bloomberg Professional™ service used by over 300,000 business and finance professionals worldwide to make financial decisions. Our objective is to unlock market data and provide our clients with outstanding advantages. It spans a wide gamut of functionality, from visualizing financial data using graphing and mapping functionality to real-time data alerting to historical trend analysis, backtesting, geospatial analysis and much more. Bloomberg Professional™ provides an immensely popular platform for visual and quantitative analysis of data sets through a host of Bloomberg Applications, widgets and critical real-time services.

Outside of the visual space, we develop methodologies that enable our customers to estimate the geographical impact of various events on their physical assets and compute the resulting financial exposure. Our services cater to a broad spectrum of users with more than 100+ million daily views, and we're looking for new members to work on some of our most exciting and challenging projects. Our scalable backend services process multi-billion trading ticks and also provide computational support for our customers' trading ideas and strategies - all in real-time 24x7.
