Who We Are

We are the Protocol Integration team, part of Bloomberg’s Integration Partnerships and Applications Group under Platform Services.

Our mission is to enable seamless, reliable, and secure data movement—both within Bloomberg and between Bloomberg and the external world.

Protocol Integration delivers secure, scalable, and standards‑compliant connectivity for internal services and external clients. Our work centers on two key areas:

We build and maintain modules that power data exchange between Bloomberg platforms, leveraging industry-standard protocols such as IBM MQ and Kafka.

We design and support Nexus and Thin Client, Bloomberg’s connector solutions that enable integration across diverse client environments—from on‑premises to cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, Azure.

Together, these technologies form the backbone of Bloomberg’s reliable, observable, and frictionless data transmission ecosystem.

We develop our software using a mix of open‑source, third‑party, and in‑house technologies. We prioritize the right tool for each problem while balancing innovation with operational stability.

Our typical problem domains include:

• Distributed systems
• Windows and Linux client software
• gRPC services for standard communication protocols

Technologies in use today:

Golang, C#, Python, C++, Java, gRPC, and more.
