Who we are:

Bloomberg’s data underpins the world’s financial systems, and the Real-Time Distribution Platform (RDP) brings it to hundreds of thousands of Enterprise customers and Bloomberg Terminal users. We’re building the largest data distribution infrastructure in the world which delivers hundreds of billions of data points every day to our clients in real-time. Our clients rely on this information to be successful in their day-to-day trading, analytics, portfolio and risk management, and more. Given the scale, speed, and business critical nature of our product, we’re constantly focused on scalability, reliability and performance.

Our team:

The Distribution team is responsible for building the middleware which connects Bloomberg with its customers.  Whether the destination of the data published into our platform is a Bloomberg Terminal, Excel on a desktop, or a client application in a public cloud, the software that carries it is the same: Ours!  We deploy our proprietary C++ middleware across thousands of servers in hundreds of countries and data centers around the world as the transport of Bloomberg’s consolidated Market Data feed which fans out hundreds of billions of data points a day to hundreds of thousands of clients.  For us, scalability, stability, and performance are paramount as even small changes in our software can result in significant effects over our entire fleet.
