Details
The Corporate Technology Group designs, deploys, and supports Bloomberg's platforms and systems used by more than 21,000 employees across more than 170 offices worldwide. The team supports critical infrastructure services that enable internal applications, data platforms, engineering workflows, and enterprise operations across Bloomberg.
As an Infrastructure Automation Engineer, you will help shape Bloomberg's infrastructure operating model as corporate services move toward internal cloud consumption and platform-based delivery. Working as part of a global engineering team, you will build automation, tooling, telemetry, and Infrastructure as Code capabilities that make infrastructure easier to operate, secure, and scale while reducing toil and supporting the transition to future platform services.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain automation, tooling, telemetry, observability, and Infrastructure as Code capabilities for large-scale compute and storage platforms.
- Automate infrastructure lifecycle processes, including provisioning, configuration, testing, monitoring, compliance, capacity planning, and ongoing support.
- Build orchestration workflows, API integrations, reusable patterns, and standards that make infrastructure easier to consume, secure, operate, and evolve consistently at scale.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices, including version control, testing, peer review, documentation, and code quality.
- Reduce operational overhead by automating manual, repetitive, or high-friction processes and increasing self-service capability.
- Partner across engineering, operations, and the broader organization to improve reliability, supportability, and platform adoption.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience developing software using Python, Java, C/C++, or similar languages.
- Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
- Experience with infrastructure automation, orchestration, or Infrastructure as Code tools such as Ansible, Airflow, Terraform, Chef, Salt, Puppet, or similar.
- Experience automating lifecycle processes for enterprise infrastructure platforms, including provisioning, configuration, monitoring, maintenance, and support across compute, storage, or virtualization technologies.
- Experience building tools and integrations that use REST APIs or similar interfaces to interact with infrastructure platforms, management systems, or operational data sources.
- Strong familiarity with the full software delivery lifecycle, including requirements, design, development, testing, version control, peer review, CI/CD, documentation, deployment, and support.
- Ability to take ownership, communicate clearly, collaborate effectively, and drive work to resolution across engineering, operations, and stakeholder groups.
Preferred Qualifications
- Broad awareness of enterprise infrastructure technologies across server and storage hardware, virtualization, block and file storage protocols and presentation, and telemetry.
- Knowledge of Linux internals, network protocols, storage protocols, and infrastructure security.
- Familiarity with databases and infrastructure patterns used to support application or database platforms.
- Understanding of security fundamentals, operational risk, and standard methodologies in large-scale enterprise environments.
- Exposure to platform engineering, private cloud, internal cloud, self-service infrastructure, or infrastructure consumption models.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work independently and collaborate across engineering and operations teams.
Benefits
Benefits and total rewards may include merit increases, incentive compensation for exempt roles, paid holidays, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, short- and long-term disability benefits, a 401(k) match, life insurance, and wellness programs.
