Senior Software Engineer - Connectivity Gateway

Senior Software Engineer - Connectivity Gateway Location New York Business Area Engineering and CTO Ref # 10051624 Description & Requirements AI may be the brain — but connectivity is still the nervous system. No matter how intelligent systems become, they can’t do much if they can’t communicate. Come help build the gateway they’ll depend on — now, and whatever future they compute. The Connectivity Gateway team is building a high-performance, multi-protocol proxy platform that powers Bloomberg’s digital edge — handling client connectivity, service-to-service traffic, orchestration workflows, and evolving infrastructure demands. At the center of the platform is Envoy: a modern, extensible open-source proxy core that we’re evolving for Bloomberg-scale performance, observability, resiliency, and operational safety. As the platform grows, we’re also working on new coordination and communication patterns to support increasingly intelligent, adaptive, and event-aware workloads — while maintaining the reliability, security, and low latency our clients expect. This is an opportunity to help define the future of connectivity at Bloomberg — not just what the platform does, but what it enables. What’s in it for you: Design advanced proxy capabilities including protocol negotiation, traffic shaping, service discovery, routing strategies, and observability enhancementsScaling Archon, our unified Envoy-based proxy platform, across a broad range of business-critical systems and traffic flowsHelp evolve the platform to support emerging integration and orchestration patterns, including adaptive and autonomous workload coordinationWork deeply on performance engineering, low-latency systems, telemetry, and operational resiliencyCollaborate closely with infrastructure and security engineering teams to improve reliability, safety, and visibility across the platform We trust you to: Build high-quality software and services for the proxy platform and supporting infrastructure, with a focus on scalability, reliability, and operational efficiencyTake strong ownership of projects from design through production rolloutPartner with engineering and business stakeholders to drive initiatives to successful outcomesInvestigate and solve complex infrastructure, networking, and systems-management challengesMentor and support less-experienced engineers on the team You will need to have:4+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in distributed systems, networking, or performance-critical infrastructureExperience with one or more systems programming or backend languages such as C, C++, Go, Java, or PythonStrong debugging and troubleshooting skills across application code, Linux systems, infrastructure, and networkingStrong communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaborativelyA degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience We’d love to see: Experience with Envoy or modern proxy/gateway technologiesFamiliarity with infrastructure management and networking fundamentalsA track record of building reliable systems where correctness, latency, and operability matterFamiliarity with front-end technologies such as React for building operational tools Salary Range = 160,000 - 240,000 USD Annual + Benefits + BonusThe referenced salary range is based on the Company's good faith belief at the time of posting.
