Who we are:

Our team supports the Bloomberg Trading Solutions platform, which provides hosted Buyside and Sellside Order Management Systems (OMS) to some of the largest institutional broker-dealers, asset managers, asset owners and hedge funds in the world. Each OMS instance is composed of services and databases that are developed, owned, and managed by hundreds of engineers across the world.

• Configure newly allocated clusters and hosts, in addition to streamlining and automating the quality control pipeline
• Monitor current capacity, conduct regular capacity testing and predict future capacity needs
• Manage the collection and analysis of availability metrics for the management of shared resources (both system and application resources)
• Collaborate on future design and implementations of our platform ensuring optimal resource usage while ensuring client isolation

You’ll need to have:

• 4+ years working with an object-oriented programming language (C/C++, Python, Java, etc.)
• A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience 
• Prior contributions to system design and architecture and scaling fault-tolerant, distributed systems
• An understanding of Computer Science fundamentals such as data structures and algorithms
• Strong Unix or Linux fundamentals (or basic knowledge and a strong desire to learn)
• Ability to troubleshoot and triage production issues with distributed systems

We’d love to see:

• Programming and scripting using Python and any shell variant such as KSH and Bash
