Senior Software Engineer

The Data Services group is responsible for core data and analytics services providing a single point of entry for Bloomberg Terminal and Enterprise applications to retrieve any kind of financial data available in Bloomberg. This group manages an Analytical Engine which comprises multiple foundational services and serves several hundred billion requests a day running on thousands of machines. With ever increasing data volumes and growth of Bloomberg’s Enterprise products, this footprint has been growing at a rapid pace!

Our Team

Our analytical engine is one of the core data platforms in Bloomberg processing hundreds of billions of requests per day servicing most of Bloomberg’s core businesses. The Insights platform aims to provide Business Intelligence for this analytical engine which will empower Product & Engineering teams across the firm to make data-driven decisions.

The Pune based team has full ownership of this new platform with an aim to provide self-service tools and interfaces. This will help onboard application teams to access critical data and will provide a scalable way for them to gain data-driven insights into how their applications are functioning. A few examples of such insights are Billing, Metering, Anomaly Detection and Trend Analysis.

Our team will also work on building a regional version of this analytical engine which will offer additional resiliency and availability while reducing latency for our clients located in Asia and Europe. Along with these benefits for our clients, this is a strategically important initiative for Bloomberg as it will reduce operational cost both in terms of hardware and bandwidth.
