Senior Software Engineer - Platform Engineering

Location

Business Area

Engineering and CTO

Ref #

10052858

Description & Requirements

Role Description:

Bloomberg operates critical production infrastructure that supports products and services used by clients around the world. Our team builds the software platforms and automation that allow this infrastructure to be provisioned, configured, validated, monitored, and operated safely at scale.

We are modernizing operator-driven processes into reliable and repeatable software workflows. Our work includes infrastructure-as-code, deployment and configuration systems, automated validation, observability, capacity management, rollback tooling, and operational workflows.

This is an end-to-end ownership role. You will design and build software platforms while also helping operate the production services those platforms manage. You will work on complex systems where correctness, reliability, scalability, and operational safety are essential.

We are looking for senior software engineers who enjoy building infrastructure platforms, can reason carefully about production systems, and are comfortable learning new technical domains. Deep experience with the underlying infrastructure is not required. Strong software engineering fundamentals, sound technical judgment, and experience building reliable automation are more important.

This is an opportunity for engineers who want to build platform software with meaningful production impact, improve how infrastructure changes are delivered, and help shape the engineering standards and architecture for a critical internal platform.

Technologies We Use:

Our platforms use Bloomberg's internal engineering ecosystem and production infrastructure tooling, including:

• Python
• Infrastructure automation and orchestration frameworks
• Infrastructure-as-code and model-driven configuration
• Observability platforms such as Humio, Splunk, and Grafana
• Continuous integration and deployment systems
• Bloomberg internal deployment, configuration, and infrastructure management tooling

We'll trust you to:

• Design and build software systems that manage critical production infrastructure safely at scale.
• Build automated deployment, configuration, validation, and observability workflows.
• Improve the reliability, operability, and performance of the platform and the services it manages.
• Reduce manual processes through well-tested automation, clear production signals, and safe rollback capabilities.
• Work with internal users and partner teams to deliver practical, supportable platform solutions.
• Help shape the platform's architecture, engineering standards, and operating model while mentoring other engineers.

You'll need to have:

• Strong software engineering experience in an object-oriented or functional programming language.
• Experience building, testing, debugging, and operating production software or infrastructure platforms.
• Ability to reason through ambiguous technical problems, evaluate tradeoffs, and make sound design decisions.
• High standards for code quality, testing, maintainability, and operational safety.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, a similar field, or equivalent work experience.

We'd love to see:

• Experience building automation, orchestration, infrastructure-as-code, or internal platform tooling.
• Experience designing deployment, validation, rollback, or automated remediation workflows.
• Experience with observability platforms such as Splunk, Grafana, or Humio.
• Familiarity with APIs, messaging systems, or large-scale production infrastructure.
• Interest in mentoring others and improving the engineering maturity of a team.

Salary Range = 160,000 - 240,000 USD Annual + Benefits + Bonus

The referenced salary range is based on the Company's good faith belief at the time of posting. Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as geographic location, work experience, market conditions, education/training and skill level.

We offer one of the most comprehensive and generous benefits plans available and offer a range of total rewards that 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) +match, life insurance, and various wellness programs, among others. The Company does not provide benefits directly to contingent workers/contractors and interns.
