Bloomberg Terminals operate across thousands of enterprise networks and the global Internet. The Network Middleware team builds the systems that keep them connected, performant, and resilient.

These systems power connectivity for every Bloomberg Terminal worldwide, operating across diverse enterprise environments and Internet conditions.

Engineers on this team own the design, implementation, and operation of the platform. Our focus is evolving these systems toward greater automation, improved observability, and increasingly self-healing behavior.

The platform relies heavily on open source networking technologies, combined with internal tooling and automation.

Technical Ownership

Engineers on this team take ownership of complex connectivity problems that span applications, distributed systems, and network behavior.

Many challenges do not have established playbooks. Engineers investigate issues, experiment with solutions, and turn operational lessons into automation, tooling, and platform improvements as the platform continues evolving toward more resilient systems.

• Are comfortable working in Linux-based systems environments
• Understand core Internet protocols (TCP/IP, TLS, HTTP)
• Write code to solve infrastructure problems (Python preferred)
• Enjoy debugging complex distributed systems
• Are interested in improving infrastructure through automation and engineering

You’ll Need To Have

• 4+ years working with Linux/Unix systems in a networking or infrastructure role
• Strong understanding of TCP/IP, TLS/SSL, and HTTP
• Experience troubleshooting network behavior using tools such as Wireshark or tcpdump
• Programming experience (Python preferred)
• Interest in improving infrastructure through automation and engineering
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar field of study or equivalent work experience

Bonus Points

• Experience with CDNs, proxies, or edge infrastructure
• Experience integrating or extending open source networking software
• Experience with observability platforms (Splunk, Humio)
• Experience building internal infrastructure tooling
