Requirements

both ML innovation and solid software engineering practices. Continuously identify areas for improvement within our search systems, proactively experiment with new ideas, and rapidly implement promising solutions-even when improvements rely purely on engineering without direct ML involvement. Design, train, test, and iterate on models and algorithms while taking ownership of the entire lifecycle, from idea inception to robust deployment and operationalization. Stay at the forefront of research in IR, NLP, and Generative AI, incorporating relevant innovations into practical, impactful solutions. Represent Bloomberg at industry events, scientific conferences, and within open-source communities. You’ll need to have: Proven practical experience solving real-world problems using NLP, Information Retrieval, Search technologies, and Generative AI technologies. Knowledge of search platforms like Apache Solr or Elasticsearch is a plus. Significant industry experience or a relevant academic background (such as an MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Statistics, or Engineering). We value practical ability and a demonstrated track record of delivering impactful results over formal academic qualifications. Proficiency in enterprise-grade software engineering practices and principles, including solid fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and a data-driven problem-solving approach. Solid communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical peers and business stakeholders to ensure alignment between technical solutions and client needs.
