Senior Software Engineer - Partner Experience Team, Bloomberg Connects New York, NY Posted yesterday

Bloomberg Connects is a rapidly growing, free platform that helps museums, galleries, and cultural spaces make their institutions, stories and dynamic content more engaging to audiences around the world. Launched in 2019, Connects features multimedia guides with unique content exclusive to each of our over 800 cultural institution partners across 33 countries.

As part of Bloomberg’s culture of giving back, Connects is a joint effort between Bloomberg and Bloomberg Philanthropies in support of their work to ensure better, longer lives for the greatest number of people by focusing on five key areas: the arts, education, the environment, government innovation, and public health.

We believe that technology opens doors, and we created Connects as a part of our mission to make art and culture accessible to all—in-person, at-home, and anywhere.

We are a team of designers, researchers, marketers, editors, engineers, and leaders working together to enhance our partner’s capacity to reach audiences around the world and improve their visitor experience. Built through empathy & research, qualitative & quantitative data, experimentation & iteration, our products seek to delight and empower.

What’s in it for you?

You will work alongside cultural partners at a global scale and build the tools and features to allow them onboard their unique content into our content management system. This position will be instrumental in helping facilitate all the rich art and cultural content into one system that is driving the Bloomberg Connects product.
