About the Teams
DataLayer Platform
DataLayer is the high-performance library used to build reactive transformations of data in the Bloomberg Terminal. From simple sorting and filtering, to complex multi-level aggregations and the Excel-like expression evaluation engine, Datalayer is the engine that powers almost every grid or table of data in the Bloomberg Terminal.
The newly created DataLayer Platform team in Pune will take ownership of embedding the DataLayer into Bloomberg runtimes, providing seamless integration with the Bloomberg Terminal and backend services. This will require the team to work closely with other DataLayer teams as well as multiple infrastructure teams to ensure that DataLayer works as efficiently and performant as possible in those runtimes.

- Bring a strong understanding of working with highly multi-threaded and asynchronous programming environments
- Understand how to make changes to a live production system safely and responsibly, without causing any impact to our users
- Communicate clearly and effectively and share our values toward software development and professional collaboration.
You'll need to have:
- 5+ years of total software developer experience in C++
- A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience
- Strong understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, multi-threading, and algorithms
- Experience with designing, developing and managing large-scale service-oriented systems
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- A self-starter approach with a strong sense of ownership
We'd love to see:
- Experience working on complex infrastructure systems under continuous use

- Exposure to multiple phases of the software development life-cycle
What’s in it for you:
The platform services teams are associated with many of Bloomberg's collaborative efforts, with a lot of us involved in both internal and external technical communities, conferences and organizations. We also have relationships with many other infrastructure teams across Bloomberg and numerous open-source projects used at all levels of our software development and deployment stack.
