Bloomberg’s Technology Infrastructure (TI) organization provides the compute, storage, network, and developer solutions that underpin every product our engineers build. Within TI, the Platform & API team is where infrastructure and product experience come together. We design and operate the developer-facing interface of TI’s Compute and Storage products. By making infrastructure access simple, fast, and self-serve, we enable teams to move quickly from idea to running application.

Our Team:

The Compute API team is the developer-facing entry point to Bloomberg’s compute platform. We abstract the complexity of provisioning virtual and physical machines into clean, intent-driven APIs. Our work spans API design, distributed systems, and product modeling, using a stack that includes Python, Airflow, Open Stack, RESTful APIs, and relational databases. We uphold high technical standards by building declarative, deterministic systems that deliver stability and scale across Bloomberg’s infrastructure.

What’s In It For You:

You’ll help shape the APIs that thousands of Bloomberg developers use every day to provision compute in a standardized, compliant way. The APIs and systems you design will power UIs, automations, analytics pipelines, and infrastructure tools across the company, directly influencing how engineers experience and interact with infrastructure.

We’ll Expect You To:

• Design and build distributed APIs and workflows for Bloomberg’s compute platform that turn developer intent into running infrastructure
• Improve the reliability, observability, and maintainability of the platform
• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand use cases, refine requirements, and enhance usability
• Lead and facilitate projects, ensuring alignment, clarity, and timely delivery
• Mentor junior engineers, share knowledge, and nurture technical excellence across the team

You’ll Need to Have:

• 4+ years of experience with backend programming (e.g., Python, Go, or C++)

• Strong understanding of backend systems, API design, and distributed systems fundamentals

• Proven track record of delivering scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems in production

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

• Comfort working in Unix-based environments

• We’d Love To See

• Familiarity with distributed systems best practices

• Experience with relational databases like Postgre

SQL or MySQL:

• Exposure to infrastructure platforms or virtualization technologies like Open Stack or ESX
• Exposure to workflow orchestration systems (e.g., Apache Airflow)
• Experience with observability, testing, or reliability tooling for backend systems
