What’s your role in this? As an Infrastructure System Reliability Engineer (SRE) at Bloomberg, you’ll ensure that our large-scale distributed systems are scalable, monitored, automated and performing optimally. We’ll expect you to own our production environment – from the initial design phases to ensuring continuous high availability, so you should be comfortable working alongside other engineers to help fix and debug issues with the production environment. You will use your demonstrated programming and systems experience and a variety of technologies (including open-source) to tackle critical problems and help us scale. You’ll be embedded in the team, and you’ll dig deep into performance, scalability, capacity and reliability problems to help us resolve them.

We’ll trust you to:

• Troubleshoot and debug run-time issues
• Automate operation, installation and monitoring of the ecosystem components/platforms
• Implement OS and hardware level optimizations
• Provide operations documentation to educate peer teams
• Design and deploy solutions for problems such as high availability, elastic load distribution and high throughput
• Focus on automation: this includes automating deployment and configuration management, quality (including functional and capacity testing), and reaction to problems

You’ll need to have:

• 3+ years of experience programming in Python or Ruby
• Demonstrated experience working with Linux systems
• Familiarity with GIT
• Familiarity with configuration management tools such as Chef, Puppet, Ansible or Saltstack

Whether it's building Solr infrastructure, working on our cloud platform, or expanding enterprise telemetry, we'll match you with the SRE team that's best suited for your skills, interest and expertise.

Some of the specialized skills we like to see are:

• Experience programming in C/C++, Java, Go, Perl, Scala or JavaScript
• Familiarity with monitoring tools such as Splunk, Elk, Grafana, Nagios
• Practical knowledge of networking such as TCP/UDP/IP
• Familiarity with virtualization technologies such as Vagrant, Terraform, VMWare, KVM
