Details
AI may be the brain — but connectivity is still the nervous system. No matter how intelligent systems become, they can’t do much if they can’t communicate. Come help build the gateway they’ll depend on — now, and whatever future they compute.
The Connectivity Gateway team is building a high-performance, multi-protocol proxy platform that powers Bloomberg’s digital edge — handling client connectivity, service-to-service traffic, orchestration workflows, and evolving infrastructure demands.
At the center of the platform is Envoy: a modern, extensible open-source proxy core that we’re evolving for Bloomberg-scale performance, observability, resiliency, and operational safety.
As the platform grows, we’re also working on new coordination and communication patterns to support increasingly intelligent, adaptive, and event-aware workloads — while maintaining the reliability, security, and low latency our clients expect.
This is an opportunity to help define the future of connectivity at Bloomberg — not just what the platform does, but what it enables.
Responsibilities
- Design advanced proxy capabilities including protocol negotiation, traffic shaping, service discovery, routing strategies, and observability enhancements
- Scale Archon, the unified Envoy-based proxy platform, across a broad range of business-critical systems and traffic flows
- Evolve the platform to support emerging integration and orchestration patterns, including adaptive and autonomous workload coordination
- Work on performance engineering, low-latency systems, telemetry, and operational resiliency
- Collaborate closely with infrastructure and security engineering teams to improve reliability, safety, and visibility across the platform
- Build high-quality software and services for the proxy platform and supporting infrastructure, with a focus on scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency
- Take strong ownership of projects from design through production rollout
- Partner with engineering and business stakeholders to drive initiatives to successful outcomes
- Investigate and solve complex infrastructure, networking, and systems-management challenges
- Mentor and support less-experienced engineers on the team
Requirements
- 4+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in distributed systems, networking, or performance-critical infrastructure
- Experience with one or more systems programming or backend languages such as C, C++, Go, Java, or Python
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across application code, Linux systems, infrastructure, and networking
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively
- A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience
Nice to Have
- Experience with Envoy or modern proxy/gateway technologies
- Familiarity with infrastructure management and networking fundamentals
- A track record of building reliable systems where correctness, latency, and operability matter
- Familiarity with front-end technologies such as React for building operational tools
