Senior Software Engineer - Windows Deployment Platform

Our Team

Bloomberg’s Packaging team manages the deployment system used by the majority of Bloomberg’s 9000+ engineers to bring their code to production. Our system manages tens of thousands of packages deployed to tens of thousands of machines through thousands of deployments each week, by both developers and automated systems.

We provide the tooling Bloomberg engineers use to manage their deployments and machines, enabling them to easily follow modern industry best practices, reduce risk, and increase output. Our mission is to make software deployment effortless and reliable, so engineers can focus on building great products rather than worrying about how their code reaches production.

Currently, our system primarily supports Unix-based environments.

We’re expanding our deployment platform to support Bloomberg’s growing Windows ecosystem, which is an increasingly critical part of our engineering and production environments. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep Windows expertise to guide this expansion, providing technical mentorship, insight, and support to a team of Unix developers as we not only learn Windows development, but make product and policy decisions that impact our future clients.

You will be our primary Windows expert as we make these decisions.

While your initial focus will be applying your Windows expertise to this expansion, you’ll also contribute to our broader backend services and cross-platform systems over time.

The BPKG backend is primarily composed of Go microservices, with some C++ components. Our frontend has both the Bloomberg Terminal UI framework and web UI powered by React.

We follow engineering best practices: automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, observability, and iterative improvement. We value clean, maintainable, and scalable code that makes engineers’ lives easier.
