Senior Software Engineer - Data Infrastructure

Bloomberg runs on data, it's our business and our product. The DataHub Engineering team provides a distributed platform for hosting datasets, complete with managed data stores, search, discovery, lakehouse and real-time stream processing capabilities. The platform provides a single place in the company to discover, access, publish and subscribe to data.
The DataHub team introduced the abstraction of "dataset", and invented a schema language to formally define all data at Bloomberg, complete with schema evolution, versioning, and true point in time semantics. We were the first team to introduce Kafka, Avro, company-wide Dataset Schema Registry, Mesos, Clustered MySQL, Vitess and Spark for ETL, at Bloomberg for designing this new data intensive platform that is the hub of financial datasets. The DataHub's DataOps and Infrastructure team designs, engineers and operates the infrastructure powering the DataHub platform.
