# Senior Software Engineer - Platform as a Service (BPaaS)

- **Company:** Bloomberg
- **Location:** London, UK
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** JavaScript (Programming Language), Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Distributed Systems, Fault Tolerance, Python (Programming Language), Open Source Technology, Platform as a Service (PAAS), TypeScript, Kubernetes, Information Technology, Production Code, Webhooks
- **Published:** June 25, 2026
- **Apply:** https://dejobs.org/x/x/FF9651BF91AA476BB8176E0EDECF2BAA/job/

## About the Role

* Strong programming ability in Go and/or Python
 * Experience with Kubernetes internals, not just deploying to K8s, but extending it (e.g. operators, controllers, CRDs, admission webhooks)
 * Understanding of distributed systems fundamentals (consistency, reconciliation, failure handling)
 * Curiosity about how things work under the hood and willingness to dig into unfamiliar systems
 * A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience

We'd love to see:

 * Contributions to open-source Kubernetes ecosystem projects (controller-runtime, kubebuilder, operator-sdk, etc.)
 * Experience building multi-tenant platforms or control planes
 * Familiarity with TypeScript/JavaScript for CLI or UI tooling
 * Experience designing APIs (REST or gRPC) for developer-facing platforms

## Description

* Design and implement Kubernetes operators and custom controllers that manage workloads across a large multi-tenant platform
 * Write production code (Go, Python) that interacts with the Kubernetes API (client-go, controller-runtime)
 * Own features end-to-end, from CRD design through implementation to rollout
 * Reason about distributed systems concerns: consistency, failure modes, leader election, and graceful degradation
 * Collaborate with other platform and infrastructure teams to integrate with Bloomberg-wide systems
 * Improve the reliability and operability of the platform through better abstractions
 * Bring ideas and challenge existing approaches. We'd rather hear a better way than defend the current one
