    Description & Requirements

     

    The Bloomberg Terminal provides access to over 10,000 unique applications that help to drive the global financial markets. Hundreds of thousands of professionals around the world depend on it for mission-critical workflows. From a technology point of view, the Terminal can be viewed as a powerful desktop ecosystem that enables discoverability and integrated workflows for our vast portfolio of financial applications, and the App Toolkit (BBKit) org specializes in putting Terminal pixels on the screen using industry-standard web-based technologies.

    Our Team:

    The Terminal’s look and feel is evolving – and at the heart of this transformation is the App Toolkit (BBKit) Environment team. We build and maintain the widget infrastructure and UX/VX capabilities that power some of the most heavily used applications on the Terminal. From lightning-fast grids to dynamic tables and data-driven UI widgets, our work blends deep frontend expertise with native engineering craftsmanship.

     

    We’re looking for an experienced software engineer who thrives at the intersection of web technologies and native C++ systems. You’ll join a deeply collaborative and curious team responsible for delivering highly performant, rich widget building blocks that empower hundreds of application teams to create seamless Bloomberg Terminal experiences. We work closely with two BBKit sibling teams that manage our custom Chromium platform and native runtime.

    We’ll trust you to:

    + Develop highly interactive, high performance UI components that serve as the building blocks for the Bloomberg Terminal

    + Develop toolkit-wide environment integrations such as focus management, layout management, and low-latency data binding

    + Gather requirements, design solutions, and develop APIs to provide business-driven toolkit enhancements

    You’ll need to have:

    + 4+ years of experience in JavaScript / TypeScript, HTML, and CSS

    + Experience with modern front-end web frameworks (React, Vue, etc) and a strong understanding of how they work

    + Familiarity with at least one native programming language (C/C++, Rust, Objective-C, etc)

    + Solid understanding of Computer Science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, etc)

    + Collaborative mindset and a pragmatic, honest approach to problem-solving

    We’d love to see:

    + 4+ years of experience with an object-oriented language (C++, Python, Java, etc)

    + Experience writing and reviewing technical design documents / RFCs

    + Passion for API design, developer tools, and ecosystem quality

    + A strong testing mindset, with experience balancing unit, integration, and UI testing strategies

    + Prior work on UI toolkits, layout engines, or application frameworks
