Our mission is to redefine how professionals engage with their most important communications—cutting through noise with intelligent context, effortless access, and powerful discovery. We envision a future where every message is surfaced with clarity and purpose, enabling faster decisions and deeper understanding.

Our current Product focus is the Instant Bloomberg (IB) Feed, a real-time aggregation view across messages in chatrooms, allowing our clients to engage with various conversations simultaneously, with customizable filtering and integrations with other IB workflows. This is a feature actively used by the majority of users across the Bloomberg Terminal.

We’re actively working on re-architecting the IB Feed to support future Product innovations. The core architecture is powered by open-source technologies such as Apache Kafka, Solr and Cassandra , in conjunction with a lightweight UI application layer. This is a full-stack effort with many opportunities to drive impactful technical decisions.

We also seek to improve Feed usability to deliver a streamlined, intuitive experience that enables clients to effortlessly tailor the Feed to their specific workflows. By extending IB’s content discovery offerings with new features, we aim to provide clients a seamless, cross-platform experience by integrating our solution with Mobile and Web clients, as well as other Terminal applications.
