The Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer joins the Network Automation Team to lead the development and architectural evolution of scalable, elastic distributed systems. This individual contributor role focuses on building fault-tolerant components that support high-throughput, hyper-scale workloads while ensuring reliability through redundancy, replication, and failover mechanisms. The engineer will manage data-plane platforms for large-scale retrieval and processing, implement load-shedding and rate-limiting to handle network unreliability, and establish telemetry for proactive monitoring via dashboards and alerts. Key responsibilities include designing complex validation scenarios like fault injection, managing infrastructure-as-code (IaC) for automated patching, and ensuring multi-tenant security through encryption and access controls. The role addresses the technical challenge of maintaining service-level objectives in distributed environments by optimizing code paths and developing robust automation to ensure consistent performance across cloud services.
