Senior Software Engineer - Workflow Orchestration

Part of the Enterprise Products organization, the Workflow Orchestration group is dedicated to delivering workflow management, orchestration, and transparency solutions for highly distributed, fully asynchronous, enterprise-scale applications. Through our platform, we serve both internal clients who need to orchestrate complex financial workflows and large institutional clients who rely on us to manage their financial pipelines and synchronize their inbound and outbound processes.

The Workflow Frameworks team builds a generic, high-performance, DAG-based orchestration engine that serves as foundational infrastructure for distributed and asynchronous enterprise workflows. Through our Python API, clients can define workflows that operate seamlessly across a wide range of execution environments.

The Workflow Management team owns the enterprise Batch Processing Platform, which is a highly scalable and distributed workflow management solution. The team’s vision is to offer external clients a powerful workflow orchestration tool that enables them to easily define, execute, monitor, and maintain their workflows.

The Workflow Transparency team delivers systems that provide insight, transparency, and metrics for data flowing through enterprise platforms. The team ingests, processes, and exposes data from a broad set of internal systems, empowering users to understand their workflows and make informed decisions.

We are seeking experienced software engineers to join one of these three teams. Successful candidates will develop internal and client-facing APIs for managing workflows end-to-end, tackle the complexities of large-scale distributed systems and asynchronous applications, and contribute to the design and evolution of a product that currently serves specific needs and is progressing toward a Bloomberg-wide platform offering.
