Details
Bloomberg Terminals operate across thousands of enterprise networks and the global Internet. The Network Middleware team builds the systems that keep them connected, performant, and resilient.
These systems power connectivity for every Bloomberg Terminal worldwide, operating across diverse enterprise environments and Internet conditions.
Engineers on this team own the design, implementation, and operation of the platform. The focus is evolving these systems toward greater automation, improved observability, and increasingly self-healing behavior. The platform relies heavily on open source networking technologies, combined with internal tooling and automation.
Responsibilities
- Take technical ownership of complex connectivity problems that span applications, distributed systems, and network behavior.
- Investigate issues that do not have established playbooks, experiment with solutions, and turn operational lessons into automation, tooling, and platform improvements.
- Design, implement, and operate components of an edge connectivity platform that services Bloomberg Terminals globally.
Requirements
- 4+ years working with Linux/Unix systems in a networking or infrastructure role.
- Strong understanding of TCP/IP, TLS/SSL, and HTTP.
- Experience troubleshooting network behavior using tools such as Wireshark or tcpdump.
- Programming experience (Python preferred).
- Comfortable working in Linux-based systems environments.
- Enjoy debugging complex distributed systems and improving infrastructure through automation and engineering.
- A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar field of study or equivalent work experience.
Bonus
- Experience with CDNs, proxies, or edge infrastructure.
- Experience integrating or extending open source networking software.
- Experience with observability platforms (Splunk, Humio).
- Experience building internal infrastructure tooling.
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary Range: 160000 - 240000 USD Annually + Benefits + Bonus.
- Benefits may include paid holidays, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, short and long term disability benefits, 401(k) with match, life insurance, and various wellness programs. (The Company does not provide benefits directly to contingent workers/contractors and interns.)
