The Client Services Technology team builds and supports Bloomberg's premier customer service systems. Our applications handle around 5 million questions per year in several languages and offer 24/7 support to over 300,000 clients around the globe. Our team leverages this chat data in a variety of ways to build ML/NLP tools that streamline the interactions between clients and representatives.

These tools include:

  • Systems that automate Frequently Asked Questions
  • An NLP model that will match a client with a representative with the required expertise, depending on the topic of the client's question
  • Algorithms that will surface relevant content to a representative as they are chatting with a client to help the representative answer the client's question

Our tools combine ML/NLP models, event-driven backend technologies, and internally built solutions (both within our team and from other teams within Bloomberg) to handle various forms of data.

  • Work with your teammates and our business stakeholders to understand the problems at hand
  • Identify opportunities to leverage ML/NLP technologies to solve complex business problems
  • Work and collaborate with ML/NLP researchers across Bloomberg

  • Experience with training ML/NLP models
  • Drive to constantly push the envelope when it comes to finding the right solution to problems at hand
  • Passion to try new things for the right reasons (e.g. experimenting with a new model to solve a business problem)
  • Curiosity to learn a new domain and ability to pick-up new technologies if needed

We'd love to see:

  • Experience with integrating ML/NLP technologies into a live production system
