We are the CTO Security Service Infrastructure group. We solve complex systems problems, enabling our engineers to quickly ship new products, and prototype the next generation of infrastructure security technologies. Whether we’re designing our next generation security controls, or threat modeling our distributed systems, our goal is to define the future of how we secure Bloomberg’s infrastructure. That’s where you come in.

As an architect and product owner in the CTO’s office, you’ll be trusted to understand the intersections between Bloomberg’s global technology footprint, unique software stack, security requirements, provide guidance for usable infrastructure security, ensure that logical security controls are manageable at our scale, and much more. Your leadership skills will influence the roadmap for future security technologies, while working alongside motivated and talented engineers across the company.

Our team works across many areas of security architecture, and you will have the opportunity to focus on the projects you are passionate about and bring your expertise to help reach our team’s goals.

In this role, you will help define and drive Bloomberg’s strategy for credential-based authentication experiences of how people gain access to Bloomberg systems securely and efficiently. This includes login workflows across our properties, the secure delivery and management of credentials for both clients and internal users, the policies and controls that govern password-based authentication, and the evolution of secure access patterns for engineering and enterprise environments.

The role also includes helping shape the policies, standards, and safeguards for delegated access and related controlled access workflows. You will work across engineering, security, and business stakeholders to improve authentication experiences in ways that are usable, resilient, and scalable, while helping shape the long‑term direction of the underlying controls, tools, and workflows that support them.

• Evaluate and improve workflows related to first‑time credential delivery, login orchestration, password setup, reset, recovery, and related authentication journeys.
• Drive the evolution of Bloomberg’s login process, including long‑term direction, controls, and implementation priorities. Define and refine password policy across enterprise and client‑facing use cases, balancing security, usability, and supportability.
• Partner with adjacent authentication team members to ensure login and credential workflows integrate cleanly with federated access patterns where appropriate.
• Work with engineering teams to design and implement authentication‑related solutions, controls, and integrations.
• Define policies, standards, and control frameworks for delegated access and other sensitive authentication‑linked workflows, with appropriate guardrails for approval, accountability, and auditability.
• Establish a comprehensive understanding of current authentication workflows, dependencies, pain points, and future‑state opportunities.
• Produce clear requirements, architecture direction, and implementation guidance for authentication‑related initiatives.
• Partner with stakeholders across engineering, product, support, and business teams to align on priorities, tradeoffs, and delivery plans.
• Ensure appropriate auditing, reporting, and observability exist for authentication workflows and related controls.
• Assess risks and identify opportunities to strengthen authentication processes and password‑related controls across the organization.
• Collaborate with vendors, consultants, and industry peers to exchange knowledge and stay informed about the latest advancements in authentication and credential management technologies.

• 7+ years of experience building, maintaining and managing security aspects of large‑scale, distributed infrastructure and applications.
• Strong experience in authentication, credential management, and provision‑related technologies including engineering,…
