Description & Requirements

The Cloud Stability team is essential, managing Bloomberg’s private cloud, a massive, critical infrastructure hosting over 100k virtual machines that underpin Bloomberg's most vital applications, including the flagship Terminal and News systems. The team's core mission is to efficiently guarantee the high-availability infrastructure that all clients depend on. Key responsibilities include ensuring reliability of cloud services, establishing comprehensive observability across the fleet, managing infrastructure maintenance and failure response, and executing predictive capacity planning. The team drives this through extensive automation built on tools like Ansible, Airflow, and Flask. The private cloud consists of two key offerings: Bloomberg Cloud Compute (BCC), an in-house cloud leveraging open source technologies such as OpenStack and Ceph, and a VMWare-based commercial software cloud.

We are seeking an experienced Team Lead for the Cloud Stability team based out of New York. This leadership role is pivotal: you will define and drive the strategic execution for running the private cloud, ensuring it continuously enables the vast majority of engineering workflows within Bloomberg. Furthermore, you will be trusted to articulate a future-state vision for the Bloomberg cloud's operation and forge critical partnerships across internal and external teams to realize that vision.

Some of our initiatives include:
Set a strategy for capacity management that takes into account changes in real time capacity and planned demand
Develop orchestration to coordinate competing automation
Enable twice annual reboots of a fleet of ~7k servers
Expand BCC’s global footprint with new production clusters
