The Bloomberg API Platform’s mission is to offer data and services over high-quality APIs to our customers. The API Platform team supports hundreds of API products that unlock financial data for clients across the global capital markets. Our engineers are responsible for the end-to-end developer experience for both our peers on Bloomberg API product teams that develop Bloomberg APIs and the technologists in Bloomberg client firms that consume them.
The API Platform team builds software that enables engineering groups to offer high-quality APIs to external as well as internal customers using open technologies and standards, specifically with OpenAPI and GraphQL. As a strategic part of Bloomberg connectivity infrastructure, we aim for a world-class user experience managing the full API lifecycle. We also build and maintain the API Gateway infrastructure that handles a few hundred millions of API requests per day.
We develop our software using a combination of open source, third-party and in-house technologies. As engineers, we try to balance using the best technology fit to solve a problem while managing the risk of using exploratory technologies. The problem domains we regularly encounter are in the realm of User Experience, Distributed Systems and Service-oriented architectures.
