About the position
The Compute Access Platform team, part of Bloomberg's Platform Security organization, is responsible for designing and building the systems and tools that control access to Bloomberg's development and production compute resources. We build and support the service required to protect our systems from unauthorized access and allow users, services to access the compute resources seamlessly. Our applications are written in Python, Golang, C and Ruby. Many of our products are built on open source and third party libraries and tools which influence the language we choose to write each application in.
