Details

What if the next big infrastructure platform you built was not another app, but the software layer that controls a global production network?

Bloomberg’s network is the foundation behind our real-time data, trading workflows, enterprise connectivity, and core products used by financial professionals around the world. It spans large-scale data centers, more than a hundred edge sites, hundreds of thousands of clients, over 1,500 global exchanges and trading venues, private connectivity, the Internet, and public cloud.

You will join the Network Production Engineering team to build the platforms, automation, models, telemetry pipelines, and orchestration systems that make the network programmable, observable, testable, and safer to change at scale. For network engineers, this is an opportunity to multiply deep protocol and infrastructure knowledge through software. For software engineers, this is an opportunity to work on distributed systems where code directly controls real-world infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Build tools and platforms that automate how network infrastructure is provisioned, configured, tested, monitored, and repaired.
  • Develop software to make network changes more predictable, repeatable, and safe.
  • Improve observability so engineers can better understand network health, performance, capacity, and reliability.
  • Create large-scale automation to manage Bloomberg’s global network infrastructure safely.
  • Integrate with orchestration systems, telemetry platforms, source-of-truth systems, CI/CD pipelines, and other infrastructure services.
  • Work cross-functionally with network architecture, infrastructure, security, SRE, and platform teams to deliver reliable systems at global scale.
  • Define practical reliability goals and measurements to show how well the network serves Bloomberg’s products and clients.
  • Mentor other engineers and help raise software engineering practices across the team.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, Network Production Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, Systems Engineer, or Infrastructure/Infrastructure Automation Engineer.
  • Experience building automation that helps teams operate infrastructure at scale.
  • Strong programming experience, preferably with Python or another object-oriented language.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure automation or orchestration tools such as Ansible, Airflow, Terraform, Chef, Salt, or similar technologies.
  • A practical understanding of how reliable systems are built, tested, deployed, monitored, and improved over time.
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Nice to Have

  • Experience working with network platforms from vendors such as Juniper, Nokia, Arista, Cisco, or disaggregated networking solutions.
  • Familiarity with automation, data modeling, source-of-truth systems, or infrastructure-as-code patterns.
  • Experience with observability and telemetry tools such as Splunk, Grafana, Humio, or similar platforms.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools and modern software delivery practices.
  • Experience with messaging systems such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar technologies.

Benefits

  • Salary Range: 160,000 - 240,000 USD Annual + Benefits + Bonus.
  • Comprehensive benefits may include merit increases, incentive compensation (exempt roles only), paid holidays, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, short and long term disability benefits, 401(k) with match, life insurance, and various wellness programs.
  • Note: the Company does not provide benefits directly to contingent workers/contractors and interns.
