Description & Requirements The
Enterprise Product Platform (EPP)
is the infrastructure layer behind Bloomberg's enterprise products. We build the
data access and API platforms
that power everything from trading workflows to risk and compliance systems. If you're interested in
l
arge-scale distributed systems ,
developer
platforms , or
high-performance APIs
used by some of the most sophisticated financial institutions in the world this is where it all comes together. Our organization includes two major platform areas: Data Access Platform We serve as the foundation for making billions of financial data points both raw and derived accessible to enterprise systems across Bloomberg. This includes
sanitizing ,
validating , and exposing
high-quality data
to internal applications with extremely
low latency
and
high throughput . We own ingestion pipelines, caching layers, access APIs, and short-term data storage systems. We are working toward a unified customer experience across all enterprise verticals, ensuring consistency and scalability as a core value proposition for the next decade of Bloombergs product evolution.
API Platform We are the programmatic interface between Bloomberg and our enterprise clients. Our work enables in- and outbound data integration for critical workflows such as
order processing ,
compliance , and
operational risk
reporting. We focus on
reliability ,
throughput , and
operational transparency
at scale. We support other teams within Bloomberg by p roviding tooling ,
infrastructure , and
governance
over our shared API vocabulary, enabling them to deliver robust, high-performance integrations without reinventing core infrastructure. Our integrations enable the daily business of asset managers, banks, and financial service providers worldwide.
Why Join Us? You'll be part of the team
shaping the foundational platforms
behind Bloomberg's enterprise productstrategy for the next decade Youll have
opportunities across multiple domains : high-throughput ingestion, distributed cache management, client-facing APIs, and developer infrastructure. You'll work on real
problems of scale : massive datasets, latency-critical workflows, and APIs that must be correct, observable, and dependable. You'll join a
collaborative ,
pragmatic engineering team
that values craft and outcome over ceremony.
We Will Trust You To: Design and implement
high-performance ,
scalable , and
fault-tolerant systems
that support financialtransaction workflows and real-time data processing. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance the scalability of data access and API platforms, influencing architecture and optimizing system throughput. Own the full software development lifecyclefrom technical design to deploymentensuring best practices in
testing ,

or
APIs
Ability to collaborate across teams in a fast-paced, agile environment
We'd Love to See: Familiarity with scripting languages like
JavaScript
or Lua Experience working with
trading
systems , order/execution workflows, or real-time data platforms Knowledge of messaging systems like
Kafka ,
RabbitMQ , or
IBM
MQ
Prior contributions to large-scale
distributed computing platforms
Experience with
REST
APIs ,
WebSockets , and real-time event processing A bias toward
building systems that empower other engineers
Sound Interesting? Lets talk. Whether your interest lies in high-performance APIs, large-scale data processing, or building the tools that help other engineers succeed, theres room for you here. Salary Range = 160000 - 240000 USD Annually + Benefits + Bonus
