On site
London, United Kingdom
Full Time
08-04-2025
Job Specifications
Bloomberg is the industry standard for financial data. Bloomberg's software solutions depend on robust data infrastructure to provide clients with this data. Our team is designing the next generation systems for managing this piece of crucial infrastructure. Our ability to provide a DBaaS (DataBase as a Service) platform is critical to our clients’ ability to retrieve and analyze massive quantities of data. Ensuring our services scale, are robust, secure and reliable is where you come in.
The Database Management Workflows team provides a database-as-a-service (DBaaS) platform that engineers depend on to drive applications throughout Bloomberg. We manage several open source (Postgres, MySQL) and commercial (Oracle, SQL Server) database options, all of which Bloomberg is heavily invested in. Our platform manages 100K+ databases and is growing quickly with no end in sight. To support this scale, we are recreating our database platform with a focus on security, performance and self-service. We develop and manage the services and operational toolkits that enable application teams to easily deploy data sets and query across them.
We define database development best practices and leverage our collective experience to influence Bloomberg database architecture design decisions. We are looking for a highly motivated software engineer who enjoys designing and building applications to automate workflows and understands that doing things the right way is harder and takes longer but is (almost) always worth the effort. This is an opportunity for you to build on your knowledge of how relational databases work under the hood and how to best leverage them in software development.
We'll Expect You To
Develop automated and self-service solutions for database administration tasks
Extend monitoring solutions to reduce the cost of managing databases at scale
Prioritize stability and performance among multiple competing priorities
Partner with application and other infrastructure teams to achieve our business objectives
Improve operational processes and documentation.
You Need To Have
Software engineering experience in object-oriented languages (e.g. Java/Python)
Experience writing code that interacts with relational databases, preferably open source databases such at PostgreSQL and MySQL
Understanding of basic database operations
Strong problem solving and communication skills
Ability to debug and correct production problems
Experience with unit tests.
Knowledge of React/Node.js
BA, BS, MS, PhD in Computer Science, Engineering or related technology field
We'd Love To See
Strong understanding of databases and database design patterns
Experience leveraging OpenAPI and Java Spring Boot for microservices development
Ability to detect and troubleshoot Database performance issues related to issues such as CPU, memory, disk I/O and other resource contention
Familiarity with Kubernetes and Docker containers
Experience working with open-source software/community (upstream accepted contribution, or community presence) is preferred
