Description & Requirements

Bloomberg runs on data. Our products are fueled by powerful information. We combine data and context to paint the whole picture for our clients, around the clock – from around the world. In Data, we are responsible for delivering this data, news and analytics through innovative technology - quickly and accurately. We apply problem-solving skills to identify innovative workflow efficiencies, and we implement technology solutions to enhance our systems, products and processes.

The team:
The Physical Assets Data Team maintains databases for physical assets such as renewable and conventional power plants, facilities, and storage projects globally. The team is currently working on a new future-proof data model and workflow that can facilitate and accelerate coverage expansion for integrated use in downstream analysis across our customer groups (including governments, portfolio managers, corporations, equity analysts, etc.). The team also manages the databases powering our iconic DINE terminal function which allows users to discover restaurants worldwide. We track and store data such as restaurant locations, the type of cuisine, ownership relationships, etc. Bloomberg users can also review and rate their dining experiences and see recommendations from colleagues and the larger DINE community.

The Role:
As a Data Engineer on the Physical Assets team, you’re required to understand the data requirements, specify the modeling needs of datasets and use existing techstack solutions for efficient data ingestion workflows and data pipelining. You will implement technical solutions using programming, machine learning, AI, and human-in-the-loop approaches to ensure our data is fit-for-purpose for our clients. You will work closely with our Engineering partners, our Data Product Manager, as well as Product teams, so you need to be able to coordinate with multi-disciplinary and regional teams and have experience in project management and stakeholder engagement. You will need to be comfortable working with large, varied, sophisticated, and often unstructured data sets and demonstrate strong experience in data engineering.

We trust you to:

  1. Build database schema and configure ETL software to onboard new data sets.
  2. Analyze internal processes to find opportunities for improvement, as well as devise and implement innovative solutions.
  3. Build quality data workflows to verify and validate third-party data.
  4. Maintain workflow configurations for critical functions such as acquisition, worklist management, and quality control.
  5. Contribute to the creation of best practices and guidelines for governance.
  6. Partner with Engineering and Product to propose, develop, and implement market-leading solutions for our clients.
  7. Contribute to the technical implementation of a new Physical Assets Data Model.
  8. Understand customer needs and markets to ensure our data sets are fit-for-purpose and seamlessly integrate with other data products when developing data product strategies.
  9. Stay updated on market, industry, and dataset developments related to your area of support.
  10. Make well-informed decisions in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.
  11. Report on results of ongoing operations and projects, as required.

You’ll need to have:

  1. Understanding and experience of large-scale, distributed systems as well as ETL logics.
  2. Strong passion for data and the overall energy transition movement.
  3. Demonstrated experience with semantic data modeling.
  4. The ability to think creatively and provide out-of-the-box solutions with an eagerness to learn and collaborate.
  5. Familiarity with data processing paradigms and associated tools and technologies.
  6. Exceptional problem-solving skills, numerical proficiency, and high attention to detail.
  7. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially when explaining technical processes and solutions to business partners and management.
  8. Ability to work independently as well as in a distributed team environment.

We’d love to see:

  1. Track record of collaborating with Engineering to promote code to production (BREs or DTPs).
  2. Knowledge of Machine Learning frameworks.
  3. Experience in conducting technical training and mentoring others.
  4. Proficiency and previous experience working with Bloomberg tech stack such as BBDS, BCOS, DFR, BRE, DTPs.
  5. Prior experience working with QlikSense (both visualizations and load scripting).

Does this sound like you? Apply if you think we're a good match. We'll get in touch to let you know what the next steps are!

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.
