About the Teams

DataLayer Platform

DataLayer is the high-performance library used to build reactive transformations of data in the Bloomberg Terminal. From simple sorting and filtering, to complex multi-level aggregations and the Excel-like expression evaluation engine, Datalayer is the engine that powers almost every grid or table of data in the Bloomberg Terminal.

The newly created DataLayer Platform team in Pune will take ownership of embedding the DataLayer into Bloomberg runtimes, providing seamless integration with the Bloomberg Terminal and backend services. This will require the team to work closely with other DataLayer teams as well as multiple infrastructure teams to ensure that DataLayer works as efficiently and performant as possible in those runtimes.
