Description & Requirements

Every great company is built on two core pillars: understanding who their users are and delivering exceptional value to them. At Bloomberg, our team is at the heart of both.

Our systems support the full journey of over 8 million users, handling 20+ billion user data requests-enabling virtually every Bloomberg product and service. Without this critical infrastructure, Bloomberg's $13+ billion in annual revenue wouldn't be possible. Furthermore, every user's journey as a Bloomberg user begins with our team at the point of user creation, and we are hands-on with the entire lifecycle of the user during their time as a Bloomberg user.

As Bloomberg continues to diversify and support users with diverse personas, we are at a critical inflection point as a company and system. To better support their journey through Bloomberg's expansive product portfolio, our system must become modular, reusable, and scalable. We aim to take these modular pieces and build out a full fledged platform that provides deep insights and auditability into Bloomberg users.

This is a rare opportunity to gain deep knowledge, take ownership of key components, and play an active role in leading the ideation and build out of the next generation of a foundational part of Bloomberg.

Technologies we use:

• Ideal candidates will have knowledge of modern technologies such as:
• Databases: Relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, SQL Server or equivalent)
• Messaging & Streaming: Kafka

We'll trust you to:

• Design and implement resilient, scalable systems that serve as the backbone of Bloomberg's user and terminal management infrastructure
• Mentor and support colleagues fostering growth and knowledge-sharing across the team
• Challenge the status quo by identifying the right solutions to complex business and engineering problems, with a strong focus on software quality, testing, and best practices
• Decompose complex business processes into modular, portable and reusable software

You'll need to have:

• Experience building enterprise applications in Python or C++
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent experience
• Ability in end-to-end system design, from architecture through implementation and deployment
• Leadership and project management skills to guide engineers and drive projects forward with minimal oversight

We'd love to see:

• Proven ability to think outside the box and ideate beyond the status quo
• Experience with event driven system design and architecture
• Familiarity with search technologies such as Apache Solr or Elasticsearch
• Skill in analyzing complex workflows and translating them into logical business rules
• Experience with building user experience focused applications in modern frameworks such as React or Angular
