Senior Software Engineer - DDI Platform

Our Team: The Network Engineering and Operations (NEO) group is responsible for provisioning, configuring, maintaining the majority of Bloomberg's network infrastructure, and supporting services and APIs. The DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) team uses an infrastructure-as-code approach in conjunction with open-source tools to ensure a scalable and reliable environment. In addition to these responsibilities, the DDI group maintains a number of integral core infrastructure services: DDI, GSLB, DNS based load distribution, Load Balancers, and several supporting UI and API frameworks for self-service. This technology stack provides critical network services to all of Bloomberg's infrastructure and applications. It presents some interesting challenges in managing a large number of systems distributed around the globe in mixed networks while configuring them at scale across several different groups and teams within Bloomberg.
In NEO, you will interact with people from a wide range of technology teams, and you will be positioned to find ways to build better infrastructure while gaining exposure to nearly all of Bloomberg's foundational infrastructure.
What's in it for you: This is a unique opportunity to help build robust, highly scalable solutions that will power the future of how Bloomberg manages its infrastructure platform. You'll be trusted to define standards, design frameworks, and build libraries and tooling that use best practices and principles. You'll work closely with outstanding infrastructure and software engineers to meet the field's most meaningful problems. You'll work with modern container orchestration tooling, CI/CD, and modern web frameworks to help us build a modern web platform that our engineers can use to request DNS, Load Balancing infrastructure, as well as assisting other teams in integrating their workflows into our product.
We'll trust you to:

• Actively contribute in defining both tools and architectural designs used by the team
• Encourage, mentor and train junior team members
• Practice and promote the use of a modern software development lifecycle
• Engage with customers to capture and refine requirements
• Autonomously develop technical solutions to achieve objectives and required service levels and performance
• Proactively research and follow industry trends and open source tools/libraries

You'll need to have:

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related technology field or equivalent work experience
• 4+ years experience working with Python or Javascript/Typescript
• A basic understanding of Docker/Podman containers
• Extensive knowledge in software testing and delivery
• The ability to take ownership and responsibility of issues and handle them effectively to resolution

We'd love to see:

• Experience with Docker containers and/or container orchestration tools like Nomad or Kubernetes
• Knowledge in major Python frameworks like Flask, Django, and FastAPI
• Experience with NextJS
• Experience with testing frameworks like storybook or its alternatives
• Entry level knowledge with DNS and Load balancing
• Experience using Ansible or Chef
• Knowledge of Linux, networking, and system administration
