Bloomberg

The Secure App Hosting Platform team is responsible for the architecture and development, and solutions running on top, to enable secure remote access. This solution runs business-critical applications that are used by Bloomberg customers as well as employees worldwide. Our team’s mission is to build highly robust and scalable software and systems that allow Bloomberg clients to use our product from anywhere, and our employees to be effective from any location.

One of the flagship products that run on this solution built by our team is Bloomberg Anywhere, which allows users to access the Bloomberg Terminal from anywhere in the world. Bloomberg Anywhere handles approximately 1 million unique sessions a month. We run this workload in a hybrid environment, composed of on-prem and public cloud - spanning several geographic regions. Our team writes software that interfaces with the full stack of infrastructure components such as hypervisors, compute, storage, etc. We solve interesting challenges at the nexus of security, remoting technologies, distributed systems and scalability. Our solution also provides a secure sandbox environment where users can access sensitive information or even untrusted or potentially malicious content.

Apart from this, we are also responsible for developing the mobile workplace solution for Bloomberg employees that empowers them to work from anywhere. This solution is used by thousands of users on a daily basis, and is critical to their productivity. As part of this, we are also building new capabilities for users to securely access various internal applications using modern security paradigms.
