**Description & Requirements**

**Our team:**
The Platform Reporting team is part of the Enterprise Product Platform, responsible for a critical reporting product that offers Bloomberg enterprise clients a comprehensive experience for managing their trade, compliance, risk, attribution performance and other analytical reports.

Our mission is to build a platform that delivers a consistent user experience, enabling other applications to create enterprise-level reporting solutions with minimum effort.

Our system handles highly spike-intensive batch workloads, providing software scalability and reliability.

It’s a growing business with more data sources adoption and use cases support in the last year.

Our system is a comprehensive full-stack solution, spanning from the user interface for designing report definitions and managing reports, to the generation of reports in Excel, CSV, or PDF formats, and everything in between.

The reporting system leverages a distributed architecture based on microservices (primarily written in Python) to manage complex reporting workflow including data acquisition and post-processing, with an orchestration layer in Lua.

Additional backend technologies include Kafka, BlazingMQ, Pandas, and Bloomberg Cloud Service (BCS).

Additionally, we leverage tools such as Jupyter Notebook, Jenkins and Docker, while maintaining system health through monitoring tools like Splunk, Humio and Grafana.

**Below are some focus areas for our team:**

+ **Platform Expansion:** Our primary initiative is to evolve the existing reporting application into a versatile, configuration-driven platform for all Bloomberg users.

We aim to build a modular system to simplify integration, extension, and testing for application teams.
+ **Customizable Reports:** Enhancing user experience through a designer tool to build highly customizable reports is a major priority.

Currently, we are focusing on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reports to help clients assess companies' social responsibility.

We are a growth-oriented team that encourages and nurtures innovation.

We are passionate about writing high-quality software, with a focus on investing in our development experience and well-structured tests.

**We'll trust you to:**

+ Lead high impact projects that translate Report Platform ideas into real products and create high technical leverage to other Bloomberg teams, including design and development.
+ Engage into large-scale distributed systems and tackle challenging system design that demand scalability, maintainability and reliability.
+ Exploring novel technologies and ideas to improve the team and systems.

**You’ll need to have:**

+ 4+ years working with Python, familiar with modern C++ or Lua or Typescript or Javascript
+ Experience in designing a scalable, maintainable, and reliable system
+ A collaborative attitude, eager to work across team and department boundaries
+ A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience
+ Experience with distributed systems and service architectures
+ Excellent communication and collaboration skills

**We'd love to see:**

+ A strong sense of ownership and interest in leading impactful, large-scale, cross-team projects.
+ Passion for building scalable, high-performance systems for the reporting platform.
+ Willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies.
+ Good communication skills and a team-oriented mindset.
+ An enthusiasm for bringing innovative ideas to improve team processes and systems.
+ Expertise in developing scalable data processing pipelines with a variety of technologies.
+ What’s in it for you:
+ Be part of a growth-oriented environment that encourages and nurtures innovation.
+ Play a pivotal role in designing and extending an enterprise-scale report platform.
+ Lead high-impact, high-visibility projects from conception to deployment.
