About the Team
DataLayer is the high-performance library used to build reactive transformations of data in the Bloomberg Terminal. From simple sorting and filtering to complex multi-level aggregations and an Excel-like expression evaluation engine, Datalayer is the engine that powers almost every grid or table of data in the Bloomberg Terminal.
The newly created DataLayer Platform team in Pune will take ownership of embedding the DataLayer into Bloomberg runtimes, providing seamless integration with the Bloomberg Terminal and backend services. This will require the team to work closely with other DataLayer teams as well as multiple infrastructure teams to ensure that DataLayer works as efficiently as possible in those runtimes.
We’ll trust you to:
- Have an eye for detail and an interest in working on the complex challenges of large-scale distributed systems.
- Bring a strong understanding of working with highly multi-threaded and asynchronous programming environments.
- Understand how to make changes to a live production system safely and responsibly, without causing any impact to our users.
- Communicate clearly and effectively and share our values toward software development and professional collaboration.

- 5+ years of experience with C++, good understanding and practical use of language features.
- Strong understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, multi-threading, and algorithms.
- Experience with designing, developing and managing large-scale service-oriented systems.
- An “infrastructure mindset”, e.g. be mindful of breaking changes, and to roll out code safely.
- Experience designing APIs (C++ and TypeScript/JavaScript), as well as evolving them over time without breaking existing clients.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- A self-starter approach with a strong sense of ownership.
- A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience.
