Senior Software Engineer - Database Platforms

Bloomberg is building out Database Engineering in Dublin. Our team provides Bloomberg’s internal database-as-a-service platform across PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server, managing 100K+ databases globally.

We are modernizing this platform around self-service, resilience, compliance, security, and performance. The Oracle Infrastructure team owns the Oracle capabilities within the broader DBaaS platform, building the services, APIs, automation, and operational tooling that help Bloomberg engineers deploy and operate Oracle-backed systems safely at scale.
