About interviewing at Bloomberg

Three to five stages over four to seven weeks: a recruiter screen where a generic 'Why Bloomberg?' is an early exit, one or two HackerRank CodePair phone screens on LeetCode-medium DSA, then a ~4-hour virtual onsite of two harder coding rounds (graphs, trees, DP — you explain correctness without running code), a practical finance-flavored system design round for mid/senior roles, a hiring-manager deep-dive on past technical decisions, and a short HR close. Teams run their own processes (some add a PR-style code-review round; some skip design), and you can interview with multiple teams.

Description

At Bloomberg, data is at the heart of everything we do. As part of the Data Management and Analytics Platform (DMAP) SRE team you will play a critical role in driving analytics throughout the organization to improve our products, better engage with our customers, create greater efficiencies, and unlock new business opportunities through data-driven insights.

Our team is responsible for capturing and processing the who, what, when, where, and why of how clients use Bloomberg products, how our systems perform, and how employees interact with customers. We ingest and prepare massive volumes of data to power reporting, dashboards, self-service tools, and advanced analytics used across the company.

We are looking for a Cloud Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) who is passionate about building and operating highly reliable, scalable data platforms in the cloud. In this role, you will focus on ensuring the availability, performance, and scalability of critical data pipelines and analytics infrastructure. You will work at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure, applying automation, observability, and reliability best practices to support large-scale distributed systems.

You’ll Be Trusted To

  • Design, build, and operate highly available, scalable, and resilient cloud infrastructure supporting large-scale data ingestion and analytics platforms

  • Define, implement, and monitor SLIs/SLOs for data systems and services; drive reliability improvements using error budgets and operational metrics

  • Improve observability across data pipelines and platforms through logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting

  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and system management using Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

  • Lead incident response efforts, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and implement post-incident improvements

  • Optimize performance, reliability, and cost efficiency of cloud-based data systems

  • Ensure data platform reliability, including batch and streaming pipelines, storage systems, and reporting infrastructure

  • Partner with data engineers, software engineers, and stakeholders to improve system reliability and operational maturity

  • Strengthen platform security through proactive monitoring, vulnerability management, and cloud security best practices

  • Continuously improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes for data infrastructure

You’ll Need To Have

  • 5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Cloud Infrastructure roles

  • Strong proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (Python, and/or Go)

  • Experience supporting production systems with a focus on reliability, scalability, and observability

  • Hands-on experience operating or designing highly available distributed systems.

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience

We’d Love To See

  • Experience supporting large-scale data platforms, data pipelines, or analytics infrastructure

  • Strong experience operating production systems in AWS at scale

  • Experience defining and managing SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets

  • Strong background in monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog)

  • Experience leading incident management and conducting postmortems

  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation)

  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines

  • Strong understanding of distributed systems and cloud architecture

  • Experience with containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes)

  • Knowledge of AWS services related to data platforms (e.g., S3, EMR, Lambda, Kinesis, Glue, Redshift)

  • Knowledge of Databricks or Snowflake platform

  • Experience with cloud networking concepts (VPCs, routing, security groups)

  • Experience optimizing cloud costs in large-scale environments

  • AWS certification (Associate level or above)

  • A security-first mindset and familiarity with compliance and data governance best practices

  • Experience using operational metrics and data to drive continuous improvement

Our most successful engineers are collaborative, data-driven, and take strong ownership of production systems end-to-end, ensuring the reliability of the data platforms that power Bloomberg’s analytics and insights.
