The Bloomberg Indices Reliability Engineering team is an integral part of a rapidly growing index business within Bloomberg. We are responsible for the smooth operation of a diverse range of systems serving world leading benchmark and tradable index products. These indices underpin trillions of dollars of trades and assets under management, and hundreds of clients rely on them daily to inform critical business decisions. With this level of global impact, the reliability, stability, and scalability of this platform is key to our success. Our team is distributed across New York, London, and we work together to ensure a consistent and seamless platform for our clients.
This is a great opportunity to join a team of reliability engineers on the journey to build, support, monitor, configure and scale our index production systems. As our systems grow, our team is responsible for ensuring that we have the tools and architecture in place to monitor and alarm when service levels are breached. Additionally, our team aims to automate processes and operations wherever possible to improve quality, consistency and scalability of our systems. Communication and collaboration are key for our team who interact with engineers, product managers and operations teams.
