The Lead Principal Platform Software Engineer joins the Core Infrastructure team to build and deliver a new key-value store from scratch. This role involves designing and developing major data-plane components capable of supporting billions of keys and millions of requests per second at sub-millisecond latencies. You will perform high-level system design, write architectural documentation, conduct code reviews, and provide direct guidance to junior team members. The position requires expertise in C/C++, Rust, and high-concurrency systems. Key technical competencies include high-performance distributed storage, Write-Ahead Logging, indexing strategies like B-tree and LSM tree, data partitioning, Raft, Paxos, and Transaction Management using MVCC. You will solve complex data-plane level performance problems to enhance engineering efficiency and provide low-level systems for cloud services.
