Description & Requirements

Platform Engineering builds the core platforms tooling and paved roads that Bloomberg engineers rely on to ship reliable secure and high-performing systems at scale.

The AI App Enablement & Observability team accelerates how AI products are built across Bloomberg Industry Group. Our mission is to make AI systems reliable performant cost-efficient and continuously improving through platform tooling deep observability and automated feedback loops.

We build developer-facing platforms and workflows that enable teams to experiment deploy and operate AI and agent-based systems with confidence. This includes LLM gateways agent platforms benchmarking systems telemetry pipelines and self-improving infrastructure that closes the loop between observability and action. We emphasise strong developer experience intuitive APIs/SDKs and end-to-end ownership.

Whats in it for you

You will help define how Bloomberg Industry Group builds and operates AI systems at scale by working on platforms that:

Accelerate AI product development through reusable tooling and paved roads
Provide end-to-end observability across AI systems (models agents pipelines applications)
Enable self-improving systems through telemetry-driven feedback loops
Optimise cost performance and reliability of AI workloads
Support both production AI systems and internal engineering agents

Youll collaborate across AI product infrastructure and platform teams to deliver foundational systems.

Well trust you to:

Platform & Enablement

Build and evolve AI platform tooling (e.g. developer workflows benchmarking systems)
Design developer-friendly APIs SDKs and interfaces
Contribute to systems across the Model Development Lifecycle (experimentation deployment evaluation)

Observability & Telemetry

Build and operate observability platforms and telemetry pipelines (logs metrics traces events)
Provide visibility into latency token usage cost quality drift and reliability
Define instrumentation standards schemas and conventions
Implement distributed tracing using modern approaches (e.g. OpenTelemetry)

AI System Insights & Debugging

Enable end-to-end debugging of AI and agent workflows (model calls tool usage retrieval orchestration)
Build benchmarking regression detection and performance analysis capabilities
Support observability for both production systems and internal engineering agents

Closed-loop Optimization & Automation

Develop systems that turn telemetry into action (automated experimentation regression detection alerting)
Build feedback loops that continuously improve model quality and system behavior
Enable self-healing and self-optimising workflows

Cost Performance & Reliability

Build tooling for cost visibility forecasting and optimization
Define SLOs alerting and performance tuning practices
Improve reliability and scalability of AI infrastructure

Ownership & Collaboration

Own projects end-to-end (RFCs architecture implementation rollout production support)
Partner with AI teams to drive adoption of platform tooling and standards
Produce high-quality documentation and improve developer experience

Youll need to have:

Demonstrated experience building production software or platform systems
Strong engineering fundamentals with distributed systems or backend platforms
Experience or strong interest in observability and debugging complex systems
Experience or strong interest in AI/ML systems LLMs or agent-based architectures
Strong ownership mindset and ability to drive ambiguous problems to production
Hands-on experience with modern agentic coding tools and multi-model workflows
Working knowledge of agent architecture internals (context engineering tool loops sub-agent orchestration)

Wed love to see:

Experience with OpenTelemetry and modern observability ecosystems including instrumentation collectors exporters and tools like Prometheus Grafana and tracing/log systems
Experience designing and operating telemetry pipelines including sampling retention cardinality and cost tradeoffs as well as integrating observability into CI/CD and developer workflows
Familiarity with AI/agent frameworks including instrumentation of LLM calls tool usage workflows and evaluation signals (quality metrics benchmarking regression detection)
Experience building cost monitoring forecasting and optimization systems for AI workloads
Familiarity with cloud and infrastructure tooling (e.g. AWS Azure Kubernetes Terraform)
Experience with agentic infrastructure concepts such as MCP servers hooks skills subagents sandboxing and persistent memory patterns
Active engagement with the agentic engineering frontier including emerging patterns (e.g. harness vs. model review debt feedback loops)
Demonstrated agent-native development practices (iterating with agents using testing verification and feedback loops)
Strong security awareness for autonomous systems including sandboxing prompt injection risks credential exposure and guardrails

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.
