Bloomberg

The Real Time Media Platform team is looking for a senior C++ engineer with real-time systems, network programming, or real-time media experience to help build the next generation media platform for the Bloomberg terminal. The Bloomberg terminal is an essential software system that enables the smooth operation of the Global financial market, and at its core, contains a collection of features that enable real-time media-rich communication and collaboration between financial professionals. The mission of the team is to enhance terminal workflows through our real-time media platform. Building upon open VOIP and VideoOverIP standards and protocols like SIP and WebRTC and both open-source and proprietary media engines, we aim to tightly integrate multimedia media into core financial workflows. In the process, we hope to bring Bloomberg’s proprietary knowledge and expertise in real-time systems, compliance requirements, and other financial sector workflows to the open-source community. This is an incredible opportunity not only to influence functionalities at the heart of the financial world, but to extend your impact to help advance the larger Real-Time Media Platform and communication community

Bloomberg data moves global financial markets, and conversations around that data are central to how markets are shaped. Through the terminal, our clients connect with an expansive global community. The need to enrich these interactions with real-time media (audio and video) is critical to maintaining Bloomberg's edge. The Real Time Media Platform team is made up of real time media and distributed networking specialists entrusted with the mission to create and scale our cutting-edge, real-time multimedia platform across the terminal and all related applications.

Our infrastructure powers applications which we own and which other organizations built on top of our stack like the Bloomberg Squawk Box, Earnings call transcriber, voice memo, and video shares. These allow our clients and employees to communicate better and improve their workflow.

Our core responsibility is to continue scaling Bloomberg's real-time multimedia platform using the latest technologies and standards to meet the demands of scale, resiliency, compliance, and feature sets inherent in a fast-growing industry. In addition, we will aim to continue integrating low latency multimedia offerings into the core suite of Bloomberg applications to make real-time audio and video as ubiquitous and practical as traditional text-based communication, driving adoption of the Real Time Media Platform. From the core platform, we will continue to grow our set of advanced media services into directions such as recording, speech to text, streaming, computer vision, or any other promising initiatives useful to Bloomberg clients.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Senior Software Engineer to join our team to contribute to building out our real-time multimedia platform. Your main focus will be the development and deployment of the integrated Voice, Video, and Telephony media platform with a focus on building standard-based, interoperable, and enterprise-grade quality media services. This work demands close collaboration with multiple partners such as Application teams, Product, UX researchers, Network, and other engineering teams. There is an immense amount of opportunity for research, innovation, and creative thinking. This is a phenomenal opportunity for a motivated candidate due to the visibility and impact of this product, with a significant chance to make a profound impact on a critical and rapidly expanding part of the Bloomberg ecosystem.
