This is a unique opportunity to develop foundational systems for Bloomberg’s technology stack. You'll work with open-source tooling to create applications and automation with significant impact, gain exposure to cutting-edge technologies and practices, and collaborate closely with other engineering teams on initiatives critical to the health and sustainability of Bloomberg’s data center infrastructure.
We'll trust you to:
- Advise on and execute the design, architecture, and implementation of new software solutions.
- Play a critical role in improving existing products to ensure the quality, stability, and scalability of Bloomberg’s data center infrastructure.
- Work collaboratively within an agile software development lifecycle.
You'll need to have:
- Demonstrated software development experience in Python, Go, or C/C++.
- A solid understanding of Linux.
- Strong problem-solving skills.
- Proficiency in software engineering principles.
- BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technology field.
We'd love to see:
- Working knowledge of low-level data center/compute/storage infrastructure.
- Experience developing and troubleshooting scalable distributed systems.
- Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos).
- Working knowledge of automation/orchestration platforms (e.g., Airflow, Chef, Ansible, Salt).
