The Team: We are the Data and Runtime Stability DR team, charged to administer the end-to-end testing of Bloomberg's datacenters for disaster recovery scenarios of numerous services which support applications that constitute Bloomberg's line of products! On any given day we're inventing, engineering, developing, building, coding, trouble-shooting and maintaining a wide range of: tools, monitors, frameworks, interfaces, protocols, solutions and best-practices. These components stitch together a robust suite of automated and self-healing systems that manage the services that Data and Runtime provides to the rest of the firm. We improve uptime, provision and balance resources, architect and coordinate operational procedures, administer backup and recovery processes, coordinate maintenance windows, manage replication and oversee workflows.

Tooling is expected to be written with end-to-end unit testing and continuous integration to provide the highest level of stability.
We have high-level-ownership and "the classic SRE responsibilities" such as: system tuning, performance analysis and the management of patches, installations, and upgrades; you'll also have immediate access to the experts that are designing and coding the Bloomberg specific components, APIs and methods.
