The Risk & Performance Platform (RPP) Engineering department at Bloomberg builds and supports industry-leading solutions for the Buy-Side and Sell-Side departments within Bloomberg. These departments offer flagship products at the core of our enterprise client offerings. As demand for resilient and high-performing software continues to grow, our RPP Runtime and Reliability team plays a crucial role in ensuring the durability, scalability, and operational excellence of the platforms and services that power these systems.
We develop a catalog of reusable components and platforms to meet a diverse range of requirements in the domain of financial risk management. Our solutions are delivered through a platform-as-a-service model and are depended upon by many of Bloomberg's most prominent enterprise clients. These systems run on vast distributed infrastructure—spanning thousands of virtual machines—and process billions of analytical calculations daily with terabytes of data ingestion. We utilize cutting-edge open-source tools and engineering best practices to deliver fault-tolerant, scalable, and highly performant systems.
What we do:
The RPP Runtime and Reliability team sits at the intersection of application development and core infrastructure. Our mission is to improve the reliability, availability, and efficiency of software systems across the RPP Engineering organisation. We partner closely with application teams and Bloomberg-wide infrastructure groups to integrate paved paths, adopt best practices, and establish shared standards for operational maturity.
Our work spans both generic and deeply technical domains—supporting services written in multiple languages, working with various frameworks and SaaS providers, and identifying systemic improvements across the stack. We apply software engineering principles to reliability challenges, combining automation, observability, and scalability-focused design with hands-on operational support where needed.
