Description & Requirements


The Bloomberg Terminal is a desktop platform used by hundreds of thousands of financial professionals to analyze markets, execute trades, and make investment decisions. Every time a user launches one of the Terminal's thousands of applications, our code runs. The Desktop Applications & Infrastructure team owns the configuration platform that controls how every application on the Terminal is registered, discovered, and executed — handling tens of millions command executions daily. We also own the real-time financial data bar (The Quoteline) that gives users an at-a-glance snapshot of security information, one of the most visible components on the Bloomberg Terminal.


Desktop Applications & Infrastructure sits within the Application Frameworks group in Bloomberg Engineering. The mission of Application Frameworks is to deliver a seamless, industry-aligned, and fully-supported application platform that enables a delightful Terminal experience.


We're a small, collaborative team that thrives on high-impact work with low overhead. This allows us to focus on building things that matter: designing backend systems for scale, creating developer tools that make the entire platform ecosystem better, and shipping client-facing features.


What's in it for you


You'll have the chance to own and maintain infrastructure that underpins Bloomberg's flagship product. You'll work across the full stack — from high-performance backend services to client-facing UIs — and have direct influence on the technical direction of systems used by hundreds of thousands of financial professionals worldwide.


This is a role where your work is immediately visible and measurable.


Our Team


We own three key areas: the lifecycle platform that manages configuration, discoverability, and execution for every application on the Terminal; the infrastructure behind the real-time financial data bar seen by nearly every user; and a unified metadata API that serves as the single source of truth for application information across the platform, handling millions of requests daily.


We work closely with UX, Product, and application teams across the organization.


We'll trust you to


+ Design and build high-performance, scalable, and fault-tolerant systems

+ Collaborate with product, UX, and engineering teams across Bloomberg to own the full software development lifecycle, from gathering requirements and technical design through deployment

+ Adhere to and promote engineering standards and best practices in testing, instrumenting, monitoring, and performance tuning

+ Evaluate and apply technologies in distributed computing, storage, and messaging to solve complex technical problems


You'll need to have


+ 4+ years of professional software engineering experience

+ Experience with a non-memory-managed language such as C++, Rust, or Go

+ Experience designing or maintaining high-throughput distributed systems or APIs

+ A track record of producing high-quality, maintainable software and owning complex technical projects end-to-end

+ Proactive attitude with the ability to work independently and take ownership


We'd love to see


+ Experience using TypeScript, Rust, or C++ Experience with large-scale storage and caching technologies such as Comdb2, Redis, etc.

+ Familiarity with messaging queues and streaming frameworks such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.

+ Prior experience with container technologies like Docker or similar

+ A passion for solving complex technical problems and building systems that empower other engineers
