Job Description

The Role:

You’ll have the opportunity to make key technical decisions which help define the future of data and analytics infrastructure! You will apply your existing experience while gaining new experience in Kubernetes, containerization, GPU's, Data Science, and distributed database systems. All your solutions will drive new functionality within the Bloomberg Terminal and other client interfaces - direct drivers of financial decisions around the world!

We’ll trust you to:

• Design, build, and automate new solutions centered around the Kubernetes container orchestration platform and its ecosystem of projects
• Be responsible for solutions which maintain configuration and robustness of systems
• Analyze performance, metric placement and interpretation, and capacity planning
• Solve and debug runtime issues with software and hardware
• OS and hardware level optimizations
• Interact with platform developers to understand and validate their workflows, requirements, application performance, and application resilience

You'll need to have:

• 4+ years of programming experience with an object-oriented programming language (Python, Go, Java, or Ruby)
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar field of study or equivalent work experience
• 2+ years systems configuration and automation experience (e.g. Ansible, Chef, Puppet, SaltStack -- error handling, idempotency, configuration management)
• 2+ years Linux systems experience (Ubuntu/Debian experience preferred, ideally conversant in Unix networking and C system calls)
• A strong familiarity with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment methodologies, chat-ops, etc.
• Proven experience building and scaling out critically important, elastic, load distributed, and high throughput systems

We’d love to see:

• Experience with networking (e.g. packet analysis, routing protocols).
• Open source experience (a well curated blog, upstream accepted contribution or community presence)
• Private and public cloud experience (OpenStack, AWS, GCP)

How we give back:

This new team will make extensive use of Open Source Software. As part of that, we make a commitment to upstreaming features we'll be developing within Kubernetes and its ecosystem. Whether pushing bug-fixes upstream, developing new features, giving presentations at conferences/meetups or collaborating with industry leaders, open source will be at the heart of this new team. It's not just something we do in our free time - it is how we work.
