Description & Requirements:

To capture opportunities and evaluate risk in fast-moving markets, financial institutions of all sizes require performant access to the wealth of financial data and analytics available across Bloomberg's ecosystem. The Bloomberg Query Language (BQL) is the nexus of this data access and distributed analytics. Through an intuitive workflow construction and querying language, BQL enhances our client's experience by unifying access to Bloomberg's external APIs and internal services. It’s a one-stop-shop used directly by clients via a powerful Excel Plugin, it is the powerhouse behind Bloomberg’s BQuant product and is used internally by domain application teams to build Terminal Functions.

A core team of 100+ engineers is passionately working on multiple initiatives:

• Providing unified and consistent access and analytics on top of Bloomberg’s rich data through a common API and expression language.
• Scaling the BQL infrastructure to handle more users, and more challenging use cases and datasets.
• Developing infrastructure, and workflows for domain application teams around the company to accelerate onboarding processes for new datasets in BQL.

We are looking for engineers, problem solvers, and agents of change to build the next generation of the BQL Platform with us. That's where you come in.

We'll trust you to:

• Adapt - to large, complex, and interconnected systems
• Collaborate - on problem solving, design, implementation
• Innovate - with all of your solutions
• Evolve - yourself, the code, systems, teams, and tools
• Think - about the bigger picture
• Integrate - your solutions with the BQL ecosystem
• Own - your solutions from inception, and through release

What We’re Looking For:

• 4+ years of experience scaling applications and services in a modern programming language (C++, Java, Scala, Go, Python, JavaScript, etc.).
• Strong understanding of the internals of the languages and frameworks you use, and how they scale (or don’t) to different problems.
• Hands-on experience with large-scale data processing: indexing, joining, aggregating, parallelism, orchestration, compression, and sharding.
• Proficiency with test-driven design and development.
• BA, BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.

Have experience in some of these areas but not all? The Bloomberg Engineering culture is growth oriented, and has loads of opportunities for you to fill in these gaps along the way in your career. Through our very active and vast guild community covering most languages, technologies, problem spaces, you can build a strong network to leverage, and expertise to bring innovation into your team.
