Job Description

The Analytics Platform group is responsible for the core data and analytics services that provide a single point of entry for Bloomberg Terminal and Enterprise applications to access all types of Bloomberg data. Our systems serve hundreds of billions of requests per day and operate across thousands of machines. With the rapid growth of Bloomberg's Enterprise products and increasing data volume, our infrastructure continues to expand at an exceptional pace.

The Data Gateway is the backbone of the Bloomberg application stack. It is widely used across the company and handles 600+ billion requests daily. As demand increases, we are re-architecting major components of this system to support future scalability, reliability, and performance needs.

Our new architecture follows an API Gateway pattern, integrating with hundreds of data-provider microservices. To support this transformation, we are building Gateway as a Managed Service, running on a large shared compute fleet and delivering essential platform capabilities including: intelligent request routing, traffic isolation, authentication and authorization, multi-layered caching, fairness and load balancing, request shaping, transparent observability and client SDKs and tooling.

The platform must scale to serve billions of requests from thousands of applications. Our biggest challenge is engineering the system to be resilient against unpredictable client load, downstream service latency, and system failures—while automatically isolating problematic behavior and continuing to serve requests reliably.

What's In It For You

• Re-architect the next generation of our infrastructure
• Design, implement and own critical applications and components of our infrastructure stack
• Work on high visibility projects which have outsize impact with many opportunities to interact with Senior Management.
• Incorporate open source and industry standard solutions to solve the problem at hand
• Interact with various teams across Bloomberg to evangelize your work and help people in adopting your system

You'll Need To Have

• 4+ years of software development experience in C++ and/or Python
• Knowledge of object-oriented design, data structures, algorithms, and all phases of software development
• Familiarity developing large scale microservices systems
• Comfort with high volume, high availability distributed systems
• A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience

Benefits

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.
