Senior Software Engineer - Classifications Platform

Are you a senior engineer who thrives on tackling complex problems? Do you want to drive large-scale impact by leading department-wide architecture initiatives across multiple teams and shaping the future of technology in our engineering department? Are you looking for a collaborative, inclusive environment where you can make your mark on a diverse range of projects and grow with a closely-knit team? If so, the Enterprise Classifications Platform team is the perfect fit for you.

The Classifications Platform is a critical component of Bloomberg's enterprise portfolio analytics, trading platforms, trade order management, and risk analysis systems. It enables users to analyze their portfolios and benchmarks by breaking them down into meaningful categories. Whether they are global industry standards or highly custom hierarchies tailored for the client's unique needs, these classifications enable portfolio managers to gain deep insights into asset allocation strategies, identify risk exposures, and further optimize their portfolio performance by attributing returns to specific assets or strategies.

You'll be working on a diverse range of projects such as high-profile client-facing features that drive client usage to integrating our platform with key products, to expanding our offerings to new areas. You'll play a key role in designing and implementing a platform that scales horizontally, handles large volumes of data and user requests, and provides reusable classification capabilities that can be easily extended or customized to meet different use cases. Our goal is to build a scalable, flexible, and maintainable platform solution that meets the evolving needs of our business. By joining our team, you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact on our business and drive growth through innovation and collaboration.
