Senior Software Engineer - Middleware Transport

Senior Software Engineer

The Middleware Transport Team provides essential transport services and libraries that support Bloomberg's middleware infrastructure systems. Our work is focused on two primary areas: the Market Data Transport Service and the Network Transport Framework (NTF). The Market Data Transport Service powers large-scale, real-time market data distribution systems. It abstracts the complexity of reliable multicast and unicast protocols to deliver a seamless publish/subscribe transport layer over IP networks. To enhance connectivity across disjoined multicast domains, we also offer transport relay clusters that enable efficient and reliable Market Data distribution. The Network Transport Framework is a suite of libraries designed for asynchronous network programming. It supports the development of scalable, high-performance applications and has recently been released as open-source, expanding its impact beyond Bloomberg.

The Role: You will be part of the team to develop and maintain our transport service products, as well as building tools for product testing, deployment and observability. You will work with other engineers in the team to define requirements, analyze, design and implement high-performance, scalable solutions that meet our clients' needs for real-time data distribution. We'll trust you to:

• Design API for low latency data distribution
• Develop software using C++ and multi-threaded programming
• Analyze and debug multithreaded user interface and applications on Linux and Windows
• Build tools for operational support in service monitoring and deployment workflow
• Communicate and share our values toward software development and professional collaboration

You'll need to have:

• 4+ years of experience in C++ and multi-threaded programming
• Good framework design and problem-solving thought process
• Good communication and organizational skills
• Interest in system and network programming

What's in it for you: You'll be contributing to the core technology that powers the company's enterprise data distribution systems - responsible for delivering petabytes of data daily across thousands of machines in production. In this role, you'll collaborate with other engineering teams on network design, system performance, and platform support. You'll gain valuable experience building and maintaining mission-critical transport systems at scale, along with the opportunity to contribute to broader technical communities.

We'd love to see:

• Experience in network programming and protocol design
• Experience in designing, analyzing, and debugging multithreaded applications
• Experience in low latency data processing
• Desire to understand how operating systems and networking hardware work
• Experience with Google Test, CMake and Jenkins CI
• Experience in Python
• Knowledge of the Linux kernel
• Knowledge of the Windows Platform
