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. ## 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. ## Related Videos - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/511-our-journey-with-spring-boot-in-a-microservice-architecture) - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [Instant KAI Sandboxes with vCluster: Multi-Tenant, Multi-Scheduler GPU Sharing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100333-instant-kai-sandboxes-with-vcluster-multi-tenant-multi-scheduler-gpu-sharing) - [All your telemetry data from any source in one place](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/57-all-your-telemetry-data-from-any-source-in-one-place) ## Related Articles - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs)
