Senior Software Engineer - Bloomberg Product Identifier Repository
Software Engineering, Product
Posted on Jun 27, 2026
Bloomberg runs on financial data. Every price, corporate action, benchmark, security master update, point-in-time view, and derived fact must be correct, fast, durable, and available at global scale.
Our team manages some of the most important Economic and Reference rate benchmark tickers and provides pricing to multiple analytics and client driven applications across Bloomberg. We provide APIs and platform for tickerization of non-securitized entities and a pipeline to provide fast, high volume access to pricing and timeseries for such entities.
This is a role for engineers who want to work close to the metal of distributed data systems. You will evaluate latency and throughput requirements, cache optimizations and safe production rollout. In addition, the role also requires strong architectural knowledge and you will be responsible for rearchitecting the data flow for a core part of Bloomberg’s entity and pricing delivery system.
Our Team
BPIR and TS Integrations stands for Bloomberg Product Identifier Repository and Timeseries Integrations - our team is at the crossroads of creating non-securitized identifiers as tickers and providing pricing to clients through well-known interfaces such as Calcrt, BQL and BVAL. Our system and interfaces are designed for high throughput, sub-millisecond performance.
Our team owns a critical ticker database with some of the highest hit tickers in Bloomberg. We provide configurable interfaces to allow other teams to integrate their entities as tickers in Bloomberg. We also own pricing APIs that are embedded into derived calculations for BVAL, Derivatives and other Fixed Income instruments.
