Improve the reliability of our foundational infrastructure by safely managing OS, firmware, network policy, and configuration changes across production fleets, while designing lifecycle workflows that enable graceful recovery, failover, and restoration for stateful workloads.
Accelerate self-service management by delivering reusable tooling and APIs for platform teams running Hadoop, databases, search, and AI services.
Automate compute lifecycles end-to-end, from firmware and OS provisioning to full application-level stack deployment.
Build and operate automation for rapid-response CVE patching and proactive security hardening across the fleet.
Enhance system observability through robust monitoring, alerting, and cross-team architectural collaboration.
Manage incident response and root-cause analysis with your team and end users to drive long-term system stability improvements.
Who You Are
Take ownership: You care about the craft and hold yourself to high engineering standards.
Systems thinking: You see the big picture. You understand how a firmware change at the node level can ripple through the stack and affect the latency and reliability of a distributed database.
Own the challenge: You’re a self-starter who gets a kick out of untangling tough infrastructure and production problems.
Automate everything: You have an itch to eliminate manual toil; if it’s repetitive, you’ll automate it.
Collaborate openly: You’re a team player who thrives on giving and getting honest feedback - we build better stuff together.
What We're Looking For
We are looking for engineers who enjoy solving infrastructure problems with software and are interested in working at the boundary between software and physical infrastructure.
4+ years of software engineering experience, with proficiency in Go, Python, or a comparable language.
BA/BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Experience building and maintaining production observability using technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
Strong hands on Linux systems expertise, including command-line troubleshooting of processes, storage, networking, system logs, kernel messages, and systemd services on Ubuntu or similar distributions.
Experience building infrastructure automation with tools such as Ansible and Terraform.
Strong communication and collaboration skills within large-scale production environments.
We'd Love to See
Experience in one or more of the following areas would be particularly valuable:
Experience managing large-scale fleets of physical servers using modern infrastructure practices, including immutable and image-based OS frameworks such as Kairos, automated OS management, desired-state configuration, and configuration drift detection.
Experience with GPU and HPC infrastructure, including hardware provisioning and lifecycle management, firmware, fleet observability, and high-speed networking such as InfiniBand.
Experience building or operating infrastructure that supports large-scale stateful distributed systems such as Hadoop, HBase, NoSQL and relational databases, search platforms, or Kubernetes-based services.
Advanced Linux networking expertise (e.g., BGP, eBPF) in security-focused or highly regulated environments.
Experience with workload identity, node and workload attestation, and zero-trust infrastructure using SPIFFE/SPIRE or similar technologies.
What's In It for You
You will build the bedrock of Bloomberg’s technology ecosystem. Your work directly underpins the reliability, security, and performance of our most critical Search, Database, and AI platforms.
You aren't just managing servers; you are building the lifecycle orchestration layer that allows Bloomberg’s physical infrastructure to evolve reliably at scale. If you want to solve complex problems at the intersection of Linux, hardware, and distributed systems while seeing your code manage thousands of nodes at scale, this is the place for you.
