Who are we?

The Terminal Backend Connectivity team is responsible for providing necessary infrastructure for the Bloomberg Terminal software to communicate with the backend. This involves authorization, routing, load balancing and execution of user‑requested functions (RAPID/R+). We own core mission‑critical software that keeps the terminal connections alive and performant. At peak, we support over 5 million concurrent Rapid application executions and process over 500 million R+ worker requests per day and over 250 billion messages flow through the USER machines back to the terminal.

We are embarking on the next generation of the terminal architecture by incorporating industry standard protocols and making the backend infrastructure truly distributed. The new infrastructure will use a cutting‑edge web framework to serve the terminal, allowing the infrastructure to scale horizontally to meet future demands.

We are looking for a highly collaborative and curious individual who likes to dive in and solve problems. If you describe yourself as a self‑starter, someone who takes ownership of the task, is goal‑oriented and challenges the status quo, you’ll fit right in!

We’ll trust you to

• Develop code and tests with a focus on correctness, performance and reliability
• Collaborate across multiple teams, work with a variety of technologies and learn new skills as needed
• Work side by side with the sibling SRE team on the operational environment and enhance its reliability
• Stay up to date with industry trends and implement best practices within the team and its code‑bases

We would like to see

• 4+ years of experience with C++
• Experience with systems programming or distributed systems
• Desire to work on a high visibility, high impact product and infrastructure
• Prior experience with building infrastructure or as a developer of Rapid/R+ applications is a plus
