Our mission is to develop a fault-tolerant, scalable microservice framework that is used by over 5,500 Bloomberg software engineers as the foundation of their applications.

As a C++ engineer in our group, you will be designing APIs other engineers use to build clients and services, working on the system in which services define their interfaces, developing code generators and build tools.

We work at scale, following industry-wide best practices including continuous integration, release and deployment, in-depth code reviews, static analysis, consensus-based decision making, engineering discipline, and top notch standards for source code (C++ and otherwise).

We also have a strong culture of mentorship, professional growth and inclusive communication within the team.

You'll need to have :

Demonstrated experience programming in C++

Experience programming in Python

An understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, and algorithms

We'd love to see :

Experience working with large, complex systems under continuous use

Experience in programming languages such as JavaScript, and other scripting languages

Experience working with Linux / UNIX

Interest in engineering disciplines such as migrations, planning, postmortem analysis, and system design

Ability to critically assess and plan software changes and roll-outs

Exposure to multiple phases of the software development life-cycle
