Description & RequirementsThe Role
You will be part of the BAS Enterprise team focused on the security and configuration of the BAS service mesh, which helps process ~400 million requests/minute across 80K+ machines. On top of this, the BAS Enterprise team manages critical infrastructure that routes requests between different trust zones in the service mesh that authenticates and authorizes ~2 million requests/minute. The solutions the team builds have company-wide impact, and are used by almost every engineer at Bloomberg.
Here are some of the ongoing and upcoming projects of the BAS Enterprise team:
- Command and Control for the service mesh, improving the security and functionality of diagnostic and operational tooling
- Improved integration with Bloomberg's internal cloud computing platform and open-source software such as Istio/Envoy to provide a better quality of service for BAS services running on cloud-native platforms.
- Building tools to allow service providers and platform owners better visibility into the tuneables of the services they own or host
We'll trust you to:
- Have an eye for detail and an interest in working on the complex challenges of large-scale distributed systems.
- Bring a strong understanding of working with highly multi-threaded and asynchronous programming environments
- Stay updated on new technologies, particularly in the realms of network security, configuration management, and service meshes
- Understand how to make changes to a live production system safely and responsibly, without causing any impact to our users
- Communicate clearly and effectively and share our values toward software development and professional collaboration.
You'll need to have:
- 4+ years of total programming experience with at least 1+ year of relevant experience in C++
- A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience
- An understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, multi-threading, and algorithms
- An aptitude for analytical problem solving
- Experience with network security (such as mTLS) and/or experience in cloud architectures, Kubernetes, and service meshes
We'd love to see:
- Experience working on large, complex systems under continuous use
- Experience in multi-threading and networking
- Experience in Python
- Exposure to multiple phases of the software development life-cycle
