Description & Requirements
Who we are
Bloomberg’s CTO Office is the future-looking technical and product arm of Bloomberg L.P. We envision, design, and prototype the next generation infrastructure, hardware, and applications across all Bloomberg product offerings. Our projects include machine learning-powered products, cloud computing infrastructure and strategy, open source stewardship, generative AI, and more. We are passionate about
what we do.
At Bloomberg, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect the global financial markets.
The Data Activation group, part of the Data & Analytics division in the Office of the CTO, is responsible for connecting Bloomberg’s data systems to customer outcomes, both internal and external. This pillar brings together data, AI, APIs, and developer experience to ensure that Bloomberg’s vast data assets can be discovered, accessed, and activated seamlessly. Our remit spans integrations with the Bloomberg Terminal, first- and third-party API platforms, external developer ecosystems, AI/ML applications, and BQL (Bloomberg’s query language) that enables programmatic access to data.
We’re seeking a Technical Product Manager to own the strategy and evolution of Bloomberg’s API Platform and third-party developer experience. This is a high-impact individual contributor role within the Data Activation group, focused on enabling a seamless, cohesive, and comprehensive experience for external developers building on Bloomberg data.
This role is fundamentally about developer enablement. You’ll shape how developers discover Bloomberg APIs, sign up, authenticate, explore documentation, use SDKs, and integrate Bloomberg data into their applications - across traditional APIs, modern protocol-based interfaces (including MCP), and emerging AI-driven workflows.
You’ll work closely with engineering, developer relations, technical writers, and adjacent product teams to define platform strategy, set priorities, and deliver a world-class developer experience that scales across products and use cases. This is a unique opportunity to influence how Bloomberg opens its data and intelligence to the broader ecosystem, defining the “front door” for programmatic access and developer engagement with Bloomberg’s data platform.
We’ll Trust You To
The referenced salary range is based on the Company's good faith belief at the time of posting. Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as geographic location, work experience, market conditions, education/training and skill level.
We offer one of the most comprehensive and generous benefits plans available and offer a range of total rewards that may include merit increases, incentive compensation (exempt roles only), paid holidays, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, short and long term disability benefits, 401(k) match, life insurance, and various wellness programs, among others. The Company does not provide benefits directly to contingent workers/contractors and interns.
