AI Group - Dialog Research Engineer

Did you know that a vast majority of trades still happen “over the counter” (OTC), which is fancy speak for “two or more humans talk or instant message to negotiate a trade”? Bloomberg’s instant messaging framework (Instant Bloomberg or IB) sees millions of relevant posts each day.  We help our clients derive intelligence from their communications by identifying and validating securities, prices, sizes, intents, and more. We not only increase their profitability, we also help them stay compliant with government regulations by helping them report their activities to the regulators with minimal effort.
