Description & Requirements

Bloomberg is a global player in financial news and content ingesting millions of unstructured documents daily - including news articles analyst research reports SEC filings earnings call transcripts and multimedia content. Our core product The Bloomberg Terminal is used by more than 400000 financial professionals globally. Historically these content types have been managed by multiple independent systems each with its own ingestion processing storage and delivery stack.

We are building the next-generation Content Platform to unify this fragmented ecosystem into a scalable extensible and reliable foundation for unstructured content. Starting with News and Equity Research the platform will expand to support additional content types across Bloomberg.

The platform is composed of three tightly integrated domains:

Content Acquisition responsible for ingesting and coordinating content from diverse internal and external sources in real time.
Content Processing responsible for transformation validation normalisation metadata extraction and operational workflows for unstructured content.
Content Storage responsible for maintaining the canonical versioned representation of all content with strong guarantees around consistency correctness scalability transparency and reproducibility.

As a Software Engineer on the Content Platform you will work to design and build core platform capabilities spanning ingestion distributed processing data modeling storage systems messaging infrastructure and AI ready distribution APIs. Your systems will support multiple access patterns including real-time delivery interactive access AI model training and agentic workflows.

This role involves solving complex engineering challenges related to:

High-throughput event-driven large-scale distributed systems
Unstructured content processing
Scalable storage retrieval data consistency and reliability
Workflow orchestration
Platform observability and operational excellence

You will collaborate closely with engineering and Product teams in Dublin London and New York to deliver reliable systems powering the unstructured content ecosystem.

This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering organisation with significant greenfield ownership influence architectural direction and shape engineering culture from the ground up and product impact in an AI ready world.

Whats in it for you

Build and operate large-scale distributed ingestion and processing systems that power multiple Bloomberg products handling high volumes of unstructured content with strict reliability availability and latency requirements.
Design and develop core platform capabilities spanning content acquisition workflow orchestration metadata enrichment storage and analytics forming foundational infrastructure for search discovery AI and machine learning applications.
Develop latency-sensitive high-throughput backend infrastructure responsible for acquiring processing and delivering content at scale while maintaining strong delivery guarantees and operational efficiency.
Solve complex distributed systems challenges involving scalability resiliency observability data quality consistency deduplication retry handling malformed content processing and operational recovery.
Build operational tooling and observability platforms to monitor ingestion health processing latency system reliability alerting debugging and recovery workflows required to run large-scale production systems.
Collaborate with stakeholders and engineering teams globally across ingestion storage distribution AI and product engineering to deliver platform capabilities that impact a broad range of Bloomberg clients.
Influence engineering standards architecture and technical direction for a rapidly evolving greenfield platform shaping system design tooling operational practices and long-term platform strategy.

Youll need to have:

4 years of professional software engineering experience using object-oriented programming languages such as C Java or Python
A degree in Computer Science Engineering or equivalent practical experience
A strong understanding and experience building large scale distributed systems
Familiarity with messaging systems caching storage platforms replication partitioning designing reliable APIs and fault-tolerant architectures
Strong problem-solving and operational skills
Interest in building critical infrastructure with a focus on correctness reliability and maintainability
Experience with modern software development practices including testing CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) and observability
Experience with AI-assisted development tools and engineering workflows

Wed love to see:

Experience with ingestion pipelines workflow orchestration or distributed content processing systems
Familiarity with stream processing and event-driven architectures
Experience with high-volume highly available systems
Exposure to unstructured data platforms or content-centric systems
Familiarity with metadata management indexing or search systems
A self-starter who ramps up quickly and works well across teams
Exposure to cloud-native infrastructure and containerised deployment environments

If indicated please note that years of experience are a guide; we will consider applications from all candidates who can demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.
