Senior Platform Engineer - Data Platform & Automation

Bloomberg L.P.; Dublin; On-site; EUR 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Bloomberg L.P. is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to own and operate the DL+ infrastructure platforms.

You will manage the Kubernetes estate across on-prem and hybrid environments, build CI/CD deployment tooling, and create self-service capabilities for application teams. You will implement security guardrails, drive platform observability with dashboards and SLOs, and collaborate with the network team on ingress/egress and connectivity, while leading incident response and continuous

Qualifications

• Proficiency in at least one systems/scripting language for platform tooling and automation - Python, Go, or Bash.
• Hands-on Kubernetes experience at the operational level - cluster upgrades, networking, capacity, and multi-tenancy, not just deploying to a managed cluster.
• Strong Linux fundamentals (RHEL especially) in a production environment.
• Practical experience owning CI/CD tooling at the platform level (Jenkins, GitLab CI, ArgoCD/Flux, or equivalent) - pipeline templates and shared workflows.
• Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps experience (Helm, Ansible, Terraform, ArgoCD).
• A working understanding of platform observability (Prometheus, Grafana, or similar).
• The mindset that application teams are your customers - building tools people want to use, and communicating clearly with technical and non-technical colleagues.

Responsibilities

• Operate and harden the Kubernetes estate - cluster operations including upgrades, capacity planning, networking, and multi-tenant namespace management across on-premise and hybrid environments.
• Own the CI/CD and deployment platform layer - Jenkins, Artifactory, ArgoCD and related tooling - so pipelines are reliable, fast, and extensible without the platform team being a bottleneck on every new service.
• Build self-service capability - paved-path templates and tooling that let application teams deploy and operate without manual handoffs.
• Implement security and compliance guardrails in the platform - pipeline and supply-chain security (DefectDojo, Keycloak, security scanning), workload identity (SPIFFE/SPIRE), and policy enforcement at admission rather than manual review gates.
• Instrument platform observability and SLOs - ensure services shipped through the platform come with baseline dashboards, structured logging, and alerting; contribute to the Quality-of-Service standard the platform is held to.
• Contribute to platform networking - ingress/egress, traffic flows, and connectivity, working with the network team where it touches network operations.
• Participate in reliability and incident response - root-cause analysis, drift detection, and continuous improvement of platform stability.
