We work with:

• C++ for the core BMQ message broker.
• C++, Go, Rust, Python, and Java for the client SDKs.
• Raft consensus algorithm for broker coordination and log replication.
• Jepsen & TLA+ for distributed system verification.
• All projects follow the team's SDLC practices, including Docker-based testing, CI, API documentation standards, etc.

We'll trust you to:

• Collaborate within an agile, multi-disciplinary team.
• Develop key features of the BMQ message broker, its client libraries, and its ecosystem.
• Elevate BMQ into a complete, self-sufficient, generic message queue system that we can share with the Open Source community.
• Pick up on new frameworks, experiment, and build software that works seamlessly in various environments.
• Anticipate engineering needs and expectations from Bloomberg engineers, and build solutions that work for them.
• Collaborate directly with product owners and application teams to understand requirements, conduct feature demos, and provide system design consultations.

You'll need to have:

• 4+ years of demonstrated experience in C++.
• A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar field of study or equivalent work experience.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, data structures, algorithms and system design.
• Experience with multi-threaded programming.
• Commitment to writing meaningful unit tests and integration tests.

We'd love to see:

• Passion for distributed systems and large scale data systems.
• Experience designing and implementing high volume and high availability distributed system.
• Experience maintaining and contributing to large Open Source projects.
• Familiarity with network protocols (particularly TCP).
• Familiarity with distributed consensus protocols like Raft, Paxos, etc.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and Docker.
