Our financial products rely on petabytes of real-time and historical data. DataHub is Bloomberg’s distributed data platform powering that scale—managing billions of row mutations daily across thousands of MySQL/MyRocks shards. We operate at the intersection of high availability, low latency, and massive scale. Your mission: keep this engine fast, safe, and observable as we double in size.
Our Team
We’re the team that makes Bloomberg’s financial data discoverable, usable, and reliable across the entire company. We organize datasets into structured, schema-evolving, point-in-time-queryable resources, all accessible via a unified API. We run on Kubernetes, automate with Go and Python, and power petabyte-scale analytics with Vitess, Spark, and Kafka. We're a tight-knit group of engineers who contribute upstream, tune clusters across cloud and bare metal, and push the state-of-the-art in database reliability.
