Formerly at The Planet/Softlayer, member of the AL state bar, FormAssembly, MongoHQ/Compose/IBM, Second Measure, now Bloomberg.
I have a new account now using a Google account and it hasn’t been banned.
Bloomberg is hiring experienced software engineers to build high-performance infrastructure that powers real-time financial data for global markets. We process massive datasets from regulatory agencies, exchanges, central banks, and financial institutions—fueling Bloomberg products and AI-driven insights. Our work directly impacts traders, analysts, and decision-makers worldwide. We tackle hard distributed systems problems at scale, from low-latency data processing to cloud/hybrid computing, leveraging cutting-edge open-source & proprietary technologies.
I joined Bloomberg in 2020 via its acquisition of Second Measure (YC S15) and stayed because of the challenging problems and the freedom to solve them. Bloomberg values deep technical expertise and gives engineers real ownership over impactful projects.
We're hiring for roles in these locations with 3-days in office most weeks:

Someone suggested Temporal below and that’s a good suggestion too if you’re fine with a managed service.
These things taught me that a web based control panel is hard to do right. We had so many that I often needed to do something and used the web UI at first. That didn’t last.
The Planet was generous and let me rack one for myself but I ditched it for an old 2u running Solaris not long after.
It is gatekeeping to say these people (influencers, youtubers) don’t deserve to be there too because they are doing that in this space. I don’t think that is what was happening though.
Bloomberg is hiring engineers and data scientists to transform how our clients use alternative data. The acquisition of Second Measure (YC S15) in December 2020 was the starting point for this transformation and we've recently released a new and exclusive transaction dataset. We are adding more datasets and doing more analytics to produce valuable insights into company performance and consumer behavior.
Here are the current open roles:
Data Platform Engineer - https://careers.bloomberg.com/job/detail/108170 (I'm team lead for this one)
Data Scientist, Core Data - https://careers.bloomberg.com/job/detail/94906
If you have questions or you're data scientist or engineer and are interested but don't quite fit those roles, feel free to email me at tcorley3 at bloomberg.net. We have ambitious hiring goals this year.
You might have more experience with police, prosecutors, and judges than I do, but in my experience this isn't the case. I've known many to be dismissive of drug crimes and even property crimes, but sexual assaults and rape are both addressed earnestly.
That's not to say that sexual assaults and rapes are not nolle pros'd and often. As recent events demonstrate, unless people feel comfortable coming forward, then it is impossible to prove the case. The Confrontation Clause is an obstacle that is difficult to overcome in these cases without a profusely willing victim.
This is to say saying that law enforcement is the problem is an oversimplification.
> With regard to judges, the Stanford rape case is the banner example recently; but earlier in the chain the fact thatany departments collect but then do not process rape kits is a huge problem.
In a lot of states, crime labs are independent of police departments. There are severe backlogs because they are understaffed. If you want more processing, you need to ensure your state representatives properly fund these bodies.
Consequently, it's not up to the police in many cases when and if a rape kit is tested. Thankfully, there are organizations like SAKI[1] that are pursuing rape kit testing reform in many places where there are impediments to testing these kits.
