On our team, you will learn about state-of-the-art large-scale development infrastructure, work with field experts, and get insight into the heart of Bloomberg's financial engine.

We’re currently in the process of optimizing, scaling, and automating our build system and processes surrounding it.

We'll trust you to:

  • Complete projects that required significant engineering skills and the ability to work with a team
  • Work with engineering teams across Ticker Plant and understand their development requirements and usage patterns
  • Be willing to tackle new challenges, learn new technologies quickly

You’ll need to have:

  • Ability to work with CMake, Jenkins, and Python is essential.
  • Ability to communicate/interact with internal engineers to learn systems is essential.
  • Basic familiarity with C++ and its compilation process on UNIX/Linux platforms.

  • Familiarity with SCons
  • System admin experience
