What’s In It For You

Bloomberg is looking for a Technical Product Manager to shape and execute the vision, and roadmap for the next-generation Bloomberg search platform.

Our search platforms offer unique and exciting challenges in terms of precision, recall and speed. As a Technical Product Manager, you will have ownership over a suite of infrastructure, grow our platforms, expand our user base, and build out new features and capabilities to fulfill our mission.

You will interact very closely with internal stakeholders from product and engineering. This is a high-leverage role in a very cross-functional environment, so you’ll need to be comfortable wearing many hats and balancing technical expertise with business acumen.

• Interact with end users and a diverse group of partners to understand their workflows and technical requirements and their needs for creating, managing and accessing metadata.
• Work closely with stakeholders across the company to develop an understanding of capabilities, constraints and opportunities, anticipate scale challenges, map business requirements to technical vision, and increase service capabilities to better support internal and external partners.
• Work in an Agile environment and continuously review business needs, refine priorities, outline milestones and deliverables, and identify opportunities and risks.

You’ll need to have :

• 5+ years of experience with technical product management or technical leadership
• Advanced degree (Masters or Ph.D) or equivalent experience in information retrieval, natural language processing, and / or deep learning research
• 5+ years of experience with information retrieval / search techniques and tools (e.g. Solr, Lucene)
