Editorial / Newsroom Front End Developer

Bloomberg, the global business and financial information and news leader, gives influential decision makers a critical edge by connecting them to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas. The company's strength - delivering data, news and analytics through innovative technology, quickly and accurately - is at the core of the Bloomberg Professional service, which provides real time financial information to more than 315,000 subscribers globally.

Bloomberg is looking for a talented front-end web developer with a passion for journalism to work with our team to tell stories through code. This role requires the ability to creatively approach methods of interaction, visualization, and experience design with an eye for graphic detail. This developer will collaborate with all of our newsroom teams, from digital video and data visualization to reporters and editors, to tell amazing stories for millions of users.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable working with extremely tight deadlines or on projects that require months of planning and strategy. A week's work might include challenges as straightforward as a quick front-end customization to make a story really pop, or the unveiling of a truly bespoke storytelling experience designed to make 12,000 words really sing.
