At Bloomberg, their products are fueled by powerful data. Their Global Data department combines technology with product experts to bring unequaled value to the world’s information. This information comes from a variety of sources both structured and unstructured, including company filings, web scraped content, and alternative data. They collect, analyze, process, and publish the data which is the backbone of their iconic Bloomberg Terminal & data products that ultimately drive the financial markets.

Their department arose from a need to transform their business from largely manual processes to more scalable automated solutions. In order to continue the evolution of their data management operations, they are creating systems to manage the relentless flow of information. This not only saves them time and money but helps them deliver richer more actionable content. They’re growing their team in order to scale their technology capabilities and expand the range of acquisition, extraction, and enrichment techniques they use for automation.
