Description & Requirements
Bloomberg Law, Tax & Government (BLAW/BTAX/BGOV) delivers AI-powered solutions that integrate trusted editorial content with billions of documents and data points to support legal, tax, accounting, and government professionals.
The Product AI Enablement Team builds ML and AI solutions to solve concrete business problems, embedding them directly into user workflows and iterating rapidly using early customer feedback.
What you’ll work on
An example of a current project involves building agentic AI workflows for corporate tax compliance. Agents will analyze complex tax spreadsheets, identify relevant tax topics, retrieve recent statutory and regulatory changes from Bloomberg datasets, generate grounded analysis with citations, and guide users through impacted calculations using a conversational interface. Agents then suggest changes to spreadsheet cells by reasoning over tables, formulas, dependencies, layout, and user-specific spreadsheet styling.
Technical focus
We apply a wide range of ML and NLP techniques, including:
Agentic AI: tool-calling, MCP configuration, context engineering, prompt tuning, deep research, agent routing, conversational frameworks
Information Enrichment: NER/disambiguation, classification, topic modeling
Content Generation: summarization, document drafting, legal insight generation, recommendation systems
We leverage internal platforms for Information Retrieval, Agent Factory, Conversational AI, Knowledge Graphs, Reasoning Models, and Guardrails to deliver end-to-end solutions.
How we work
You’ll work in a forward-deployed, agile environment with software engineers, product managers, subject matter experts, and annotators. We prioritize iterative development, early customer engagement, and rapid feedback-driven improvement. ML ambiguity is expected; success requires ownership, adaptability, and strong collaboration.
