Bloomberg delivers critical information in a world where information matters. We give influential decision makers in business, finance and government an edge by connecting them to a dynamic network of news, people and ideas. To do that, we need a constant flow of ideas, energy, innovation—which is where you come in. At Bloomberg, you will have the opportunity to go above and beyond and to take risks.

The Bloomberg Network is one of the largest private networks in the world, spanning over 100 node sites and connecting clients globally to over 1,500 exchanges, which is integral to the success of the company. The Network System Reliability Engineering (NSRE) team at Bloomberg is responsible for the observability, reliability and performance of the network infrastructure that provides connectivity for internal and external business applications.

We are involved with all aspects of planning, implementation and monitoring of network infrastructure, spanning over a hundred Points of Presence (POPs) globally and serve as a point of escalation for Network Operations. We work closely with other Engineering and SRE teams, Network Design teams, the Chief Technology Office (CTO) and product managers across the enterprise, driving technology forward and using Bloomberg's MPLS network, The Internet and the Public Clouds for business and client needs.
