Insights are a groundbreaking new way for clients to approach their workflow in the terminal. Instead of memorizing many different mnemonics and functions, clients have the ability to surface related, and potentially hard to discover, content where and when they need it within their day-to-day workflow in platforms such as Instant Bloomberg Messenger, Bloomberg Mobile, Launchpad, etc. Our clients can easily and swiftly dive further for more context to make critical financial decisions.

The Insights organization’s mission is to make discovering the breadth and depth of impactful financial data available easier and quicker for finance professionals. IPaaS (Insights Platform As A Service) offers suggestions (known as insights) based on the context of the client’s current workflow. An insight is a carefully crafted auto-generated short sentence. Similar to a well-written news headline, an insight communicates the bottom line without the need to read the whole story. Insights often come with clickable links, abstract text, and other metadata to provide even more information, analogous to reading the full body of a news story.

The Insights Relevancy team creates and manages Insights reusable UI components as well as Insights scoring model, which is used to rank Insights by relevance.  Reusable UI components make it easy to embed insights into terminal functions and launchpad.  Scoring model is needed in order to bubble up insights that are likely to be of the biggest interest for the user.

We are seeking an engineer interested in improving end user experience with insights.  This includes finding more different ways to visualize insights as well as exploring various ways to rank insights by relevance including both rules-driven and machine learning approaches.
