The Bloomberg CTO Office is the forward-looking technical arm of Bloomberg L.P. We envision, design and prototype the next generation infrastructure, hardware and applications that interface in all aspects of the company including financial products, broadcast and media, data centers, internal IT and our global network.
Our team:
We are the CTO Infrastructure group. We solve complex problems to enable innovative new products and prototype the next generation of infrastructure technologies.

That's where you come in.
As a CTO Linux Architect, you'll be trusted to understand the requirements of our software stack and service-oriented architecture, provide guidance for usable infrastructure security, and infrastructure management. You will lead the evolution of Linux at Bloomberg for all our environments, on premise and in Public Cloud, ensuring they meet our needs, are secure, are manageable at our scale, and much more. Your leadership skills will influence the roadmap for future technologies, while working alongside motivated engineers across the company to keep Bloomberg at the cutting edge. Our team works across many areas of infrastructure architecture, and you will have the opportunity to focus on the projects you are passionate about and bring your expertise to help reach our team's goals.
We'll expect you to:
