Senior Software Engineer - Employee Engagement & Discovery

Our mission:

We believe that empowering Bloomberg employees with world-class tools to collaborate, discover information, and work efficiently is essential to helping them reach their full potential. Our mission is to deliver internal platforms and services that make every employee more effective and connected in their work.

Our products:

We build and operate the systems that keep Bloomberg running smoothly at scale. Our screens and services underpin key workflows across employee engagement, organizational management, and philanthropy. Our team’s products are used daily by ~20,000 employees across ~190 global offices. These systems are essential to the employee experience and the operational heartbeat of the company.

Who we are:

We are the Employee Engagement & Discovery team — a full-stack engineering group responsible for the systems that model, manage, and surface Bloomberg’s organizational and employee data. We work across technologies including Python, C++, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL Server, and postgres to build scalable data pipelines, backend services, and intuitive user interfaces.
Performance, reliability, and scalability are core to our design philosophy: our APIs and services handle millions — and often billions — of requests per day.

What makes this team particularly rewarding is that we build products for ourselves and our peers — the same systems we rely on to get work done every day. That closeness to our users gives us a unique sense of ownership and perspective: we understand firsthand what’s needed, what’s working, and where we can improve. It’s engineering with direct impact and immediate feedback.

As a senior engineer on our team, you will have a direct impact on the architectural direction of our systems. You’ll work closely with product managers and designers, mentor peers, and collaborate across teams to deliver secure, maintainable, and extensible systems. You’ll also have opportunities to shape how we adopt and align with Bloomberg’s paved-path engineering patterns and standards.

We’re currently modernizing our Employee Data & Engagement suite, focusing on modularity, performance, and developer experience. As part of this effort, we’re also integrating AI-driven capabilities to enhance how employees interact with our systems.

• 5+ years of experience with programming languages, such as C#, C++, Python, or equivalent
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related technology field/Equivalent Experience

Even Better If You Have:

• 
  Proven experience designing and building scalable, testable, and reliable systems using object-oriented languages and frameworks
