# Senior Software Engineer, News Automation Platform

The role Bloomberg News operates one of the richest financial data ecosystems in the world. The News Automation team builds the distributed systems and AI-powered tools that turn signals hidden in that data into clear, timely content for our clients. Our platform publishes around 12,000 stories every day, accounting for more than 10% of Bloomberg News readership. It powers critical coverage including company earnings, economic indicators and bond issuance, where speed, accuracy and reliability really matter. We are at an exciting point in the evolution of the platform. We are modernising its architecture, building better observability and data governance, developing intelligent anomaly detection, creating AI-powered tools for editors and reporters, and expanding the ways automated insights can be used across Bloomberg. Our work is primarily backend focused, with some frontend development. We use Python, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, Zookeeper, Docker, TypeScript and React, alongside LLMs and AI-assisted development. We have a strong testing culture and care about building software that is readable, reliable and easy to evolve. We are a collaborative team and try not to create silos arou
