Description & Requirements

Bloombergs Enterprise data business helps our clients get the right data at the right time to drive their operational and research workflows. We build the technological supply chains that source vast amounts of data model it link it and deliver it to our clients financial services systems while providing accessibility and control along the way. Data Science is driving the demand for more and more data and were building the platforms to onboard new datasets quicker smarter and more transparently than before.

Our flagship product is Data License Plus (DL) which is a fully managed service that hosts aggregates organizes and links all of your Data License data into a unified model designed for immediate use. DL can also publish your refreshed licensed content in a ready-to-use format directly into your cloud data platform (such as Snowflake Databricks AWS RedShift Google GCP) as it becomes available while maintaining transparency consistency quality and control.

The DL Infrastructure Platforms team designs builds and operates the platforms and deployment pipelines that the wider DL engineering organisation depends on. We own the Kubernetes estate the CI/CD tooling and the self-service layer that lets application teams ship without raising tickets for every change.

The department is mid-transformation - moving from manual ticket-based operations toward automated self-service platforms and aligning with wider Bloomberg engineering teams. This role is central to that shift youll be building and owning the platform layer.

Well trust you to:

Operate and harden the Kubernetes estate - cluster operations including upgrades capacity planning networking and multi-tenant namespace management across on-premise and hybrid environments.
Own the CI/CD and deployment platform layer - Jenkins Artifactory ArgoCD and related tooling - so pipelines are reliable fast and extensible without the platform team being a bottleneck on every new service.
Build self-service capability - paved-path templates and tooling that let application teams deploy and operate without manual handoffs.
Implement security and compliance guardrails in the platform - pipeline and supply-chain security (DefectDojo Keycloak security scanning) workload identity (SPIFFE/SPIRE) and policy enforcement at admission rather than manual review gates.
Instrument platform observability and SLOs - ensure services shipped through the platform come with baseline dashboards structured logging and alerting; contribute to the Quality-of-Service standard the platform is held to.
Contribute to platform networking - ingress/egress traffic flows and connectivity working with the network team where it touches network operations.
Participate in reliability and incident response - root-cause analysis drift detection and continuous improvement of platform stability.

Youll need to have:

Proficiency in at least one systems/scripting language for platform tooling and automation - Python Go or Bash.
Hands-on Kubernetes experience at the operational level - cluster upgrades networking capacity and multi-tenancy not just deploying to a managed cluster.
Strong Linux fundamentals (RHEL especially) in a production environment.
Practical experience owning CI/CD tooling at the platform level (Jenkins GitLab CI ArgoCD/Flux or equivalent) - pipeline templates and shared workflows.
Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps experience (Helm Ansible Terraform ArgoCD).
A working understanding of platform observability (Prometheus Grafana or similar).
The mindset that application teams are your customers - building tools people want to use and communicating clearly with technical and non-technical colleagues.

Wed love to see:

Experience operating enterprise storage at scale and database-adjacent platform work.
Kubernetes networking and ingress (Cilium Calico ingress controllers service mesh).
Secrets management and workload identity (SPIFFE/SPIRE Vault External Secrets).
Security/compliance exposure - policy-as-code (OPA Gatekeeper / Kyverno) vulnerability scanning audit and SOC-type controls.
Security - experience with cyber security standards such as CIS Benchmarks and frameworks such as NIST CSF.
Experience in a regulated or audited environment.

If indicated please note that years of experience are a guide; we will consider applications from all candidates who can demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.
