Description & Requirements

Our Team:

The Network Engineering and Operations (NEO) group is responsible for provisioning, configuring, maintaining the majority of Bloomberg's network infrastructure, and supporting services and APIs.

In addition to these responsibilities, the DDI group maintains a number of integral core infrastructure services: DDI, GSLB, DNS based load distribution, Load Balancers, and several supporting UI and API frameworks for self-service. This technology stack provides critical network services to all of Bloomberg's infrastructure and applications. It presents some interesting challenges in managing a large number of systems distributed around the globe in mixed networks while configuring them at scale across several different groups and teams within Bloomberg.
