Job Description

The Client Services Technology team builds and supports Bloomberg's premier customer service systems. Our applications handle around 5 million questions per year in several languages and offer 24/7 support to over 300,000 clients around the globe, creating more than a billion rows of chat data. Our team leverages this chat data in a variety of ways to build ML/NLP tools that streamline the interactions between clients and representatives.

These tools include

• A chatbot that automatically answers client FAQs
• An NLP model that will match a client with a representative with the required expertise, depending on the topic of the client's question
• Algorithms that will surface relevant content to a representative as they are chatting with a client to help the representative answer the client's question
• Applications that allow business stakeholders to explore what topics clients are asking about and search across client chats

Our tools combine ML/NLP models, event-driven backend technologies, and internally built solutions (both within our team and from other teams within Bloomberg) to handle various forms of chat text across ADSK.

We'll trust you to:

• Train/build on top of BloombergGPT and/or other large language model (LLM) and incorporate it into our suite of products (e.g. Chatbot, recommendation system, routing etc)
• Work with your teammates and our business stakeholders to understand the problems at hand
• Identify opportunities to leverage ML/NLP technologies to solve complex business problems
• Work and collaborate with ML/NLP researchers across Bloomberg
• Take ownership of the product and domain and stay current with research and technologies
• Build and execute on projects in an efficient and agile manner

You'll NEED to have:

• A PhD in ML/NLP (or a related field), or a Master's in ML/NLP and at least 3 years work experience
• Experience with ML/NLP technologies
• Drive to constantly push the envelope when it comes to finding the right solution to problems at hand
• Passion to try new things for the right reasons (e.g. experimenting with a new model to solve a business problem)
• Curiosity to learn a new domain and ability to pick-up new technologies if needed

We'd love to see:

• Experience with integrating ML/NLP technologies into a live production system
• Knowledge of Python, C++
• Experience in designing and implementing complex systems and applications
