The Team:

The Security Automation & Tools team, part of Security Engineering, is responsible for Protecting and Securing Bloomberg's production environment, by providing a suite of modern, highly-available, enterprise security tools, which enforce security best-practices and govern and control access within our enterprise.

Our philosophy is to treat infrastructure as code -- we model various access control definitions (such as Firewall Policies, Proxy Rules, sudo and ssh rules, role-account access) in software, and enforce security around how they are connected to each other to support Bloomberg Professional and related services.

The Role:

This is an outstanding opportunity to help build robust, high-scale systems which will power the future of Bloomberg's automated security and access-control infrastructure! You’ll be trusted to define standards, frameworks, libraries and tools as well as architectural designs and solutions to some of the field’s most exciting problems.

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, performance, and economics
• Proactively research and follow industry trends, standard methodologies, and open source projects in security engineering

You’ll need to have:

• 4+ years of programming experience with an object-oriented programming language (Python or Go)
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar field of study or equivalent work experience
• Extensive knowledge in software testing and delivery standard processes
• The ability to take ownership and responsibility of issues and handle them effectively to resolution

We'd love to see:

• Contributions to Open Source projects especially related to Automation and Security Engineering
• Knowledge in major Python frameworks like Django, Celery and Javascript based front-end frameworks such as React.js
• Understanding Orchestration and Automation Frameworks, such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet
• A keen interest in keeping abreast of technological advances and proven success at incorporating new technology into existing systems
• Knowledge of Linux, networking and system administration
