Senior Software Engineer - Java Infrastructure

In Bloomberg, the Developer Experience (DevX) group provides services and tooling that empowers over 9,000 engineers with their productivity needs and enables them to write secure, high quality, highly performant code.

The recently formed Java Infrastructure team in DevX is focused on improving the developer experience of the Java ecosystem at Bloomberg, including build tooling and runtime support, packaging, and software supply chain security. We partner closely with the internal Java & JVM community and its leaders to support initiatives that improve the SDLC and reduce the total cost of ownership for teams using Java.

In our team, you can expect to help us with:

• Ensuring that teams using Java are well integrated with our software supply chain security ecosystem, including ingest control for upstream packages, high quality Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs), and legacy runtime deprecation
• Build and packaging tools to improve performance, governance, and stability
• Understanding the needs of Java developers and how these can align with the broader set of DevX product offerings
