Senior Software Engineer - Portfolio Enterprise Data Lake

Bloomberg is the global leader in business and financial data, news, and insight. Using the power of technology, we connect the world’s decision makers to accurate information on the financial markets – and help them make faster, smarter decisions.

Bloomberg Portfolio Analytics (PORT) empowers the biggest players in the financial world to manage their portfolios, assess exposures, and make decisions that move the markets. As a flagship product on the Bloomberg Terminal, our mission-critical tools are used daily by money managers, mutual funds, hedge funds, and pension funds around the world. PORT provides industry-leading quantitative financial tools, and our enterprise reporting system produces hundreds of thousands of reports daily.  We are a product that generates tens of millions of dollars of revenue a year and have tens of thousands of active users across our desktop and enterprise solutions. We are experiencing tremendous growth of our products and user base, and we are constantly looking to innovate upon our existing software and technologies.

The Portfolio Enterprise Data Lake (PEDL) team applies modern data science technology and approaches to improve client access to PORT's curated data sets and sophisticated financial models. We are building a modern data lake house with Apache Iceberg that integrates PORT’s enterprise reporting workflow with Trino (allowing for SQL queries), the domain-specific Bloomberg Query Language (BQL), and other APIs. Customers are using our platform to produce highly-customized reports, perform business intelligence-style analysis, and evaluate investment strategies. We are growing the PEDL platform to cover additional client use cases, support more programmatic access through REST APIs and integration with cloud providers like Snowflake, and supply data for new AI-based products - all while scaling up to host an ever-increasing amount of data. We have terabytes of constantly growing data across various stores at the core of our platform.
