Who are we? Bloomberg has tens of millions of time series our clients can use to generate ideas and make trading decisions. Some of these time series represent prices, whereas others represent fundamental data, such as the inventory of warehouses around the world. We have developed a system that organises time series and datasets across the Commodities, Foreign Exchange/Currencies, Economics, ESG and Bloomberg Intelligence spaces. Our system enables downstream applications to empower Bloomberg's customers to hedge their inherent business risks, brokers to facilitate deals between their clients and speculators identify opportunities. Technology We develop primarily in Python 3 and Javascript, and maintain some assets in C++. We use Postgres for our primary database, RabbitMQ for work distribution and Solr & Redis for specialist use cases. We started to use RDF for inter-system communication. We've designed a variety of GraphQL services, where we can solve multiple query problems with a single implementation. We drive our SDLC processes from our GitHub Enterprise instance and use Jenkins for CI. We deploy to a mix of containerised and Linux VM-based environments. What's in it for you? We place a lot of value on a good developer experience and developing the right solution. Every week, we encourage people to spend half a day on engineer-led learning and innovation. As part of this process, the team has open sourced 2 Python libraries and introduced GraphQL to our stack. We have been an agile team since 2015; we started with Scrum, but have now adopted predominantly Kanban practices. We regularly reflect on our process, practices and tools together as a team in order to evolve our way of working.

Who are we? Bloomberg has tens of millions of time series our clients can use to generate ideas and make trading decisions. Some of these time series represent prices, whereas others represent fundamental data, such as the inventory of warehouses around the world. We have developed a system that organises time series and datasets across the Commodities, Foreign Exchange/Currencies, Economics, ESG and Bloomberg Intelligence spaces. Our system enables downstream applications to empower Bloomberg's customers to hedge their inherent business risks, brokers to facilitate deals between their clients and speculators identify opportunities. Technology We develop primarily in Python 3 and Javascript, and maintain some assets in C++. We use Postgres for our primary database, RabbitMQ for work distribution and Solr & Redis for specialist use cases. We started to use RDF for inter-system communication. We've designed a variety of GraphQL services, where we can solve multiple query problems with a single implementation. We drive our SDLC processes from our GitHub Enterprise instance and use Jenkins for CI. We deploy to a mix of containerised and Linux VM-based environments. What's in it for you? We place a lot of value on a good developer experience and developing the right solution. Every week, we encourage people to spend half a day on engineer-led learning and innovation. As part of this process, the team has open sourced 2 Python libraries and introduced GraphQL to our stack.
