Senior Software Engineer – Packaging (Windows Expansion)

Our Team

Bloomberg’s Packaging team manages the deployment system used by the majority of Bloomberg’s 9000+ engineers to bring their code to production. Our system manages tens of thousands of packages deployed to tens of thousands of machines through thousands of deployments each week, by both developers and automated systems.

We provide the tooling Bloomberg engineers use to manage their deployments and machines, enabling them to easily follow modern industry best practices, reduce risk, and increase output. Our mission is to make software deployment effortless and reliable, so engineers can focus on building great products rather than worrying about how their code reaches production.

Currently, our system primarily supports Unix-based environments.

What We’Re Working On

We’re expanding our system to support Bloomberg’s growing Windows ecosystem, which is an increasingly critical part of our engineering and production environments. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep Windows expertise to help guide this expansion, providing technical insight and support to a team of primarily Unix developers as we design, build, and operate robust Windows deployment capabilities.

You’ll play a key role in helping shape how Bloomberg’s engineers deploy software on Windows machines at scale. While your initial focus will be applying your Windows expertise to this expansion, you’ll also contribute to our broader backend services and cross-platform systems over time.

Our Technologies

The BPKG backend is primarily composed of Go microservices, with some C++ components. Our frontend has both the Bloomberg Terminal UI framework and web UI powered by React.

We follow engineering best practices: automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, observability, and iterative improvement. We value clean, maintainable, and scalable code that makes engineers’ lives easier.

You’Ll Need To Have

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
• 4+ years of experience developing Windows-based systems or services, including familiarity with Windows Services and their lifecycle, file system ACLs, and PowerShell
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as C++, C#, Go, Java, or Python
• Interest in or experience working with Go
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including system design, testing, and deployment
• Familiarity with Linux or Unix environments or an eagerness to learn them

We’D Love To See

• Expertise in Windows internals, user permission models, and the Windows registry
• Experience with cross-platform development (Windows + Unix)
• Experience building microservices or distributed systems
• Familiarity with containers (e.g., Docker) or cloud-based environments
• A collaborative mindset and strong communication skills
