As a Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer, you will lead the development and architecture of scalable, elastic distributed systems designed to support high-throughput, hyper-scale workloads. You will be responsible for optimizing code and data paths, leveraging data plane platforms for large-scale retrieval, storage, and processing while ensuring system reliability through redundancy, replication, and failover mechanisms. Your daily work involves designing fault-tolerant components that handle network unreliability via load-shedding and rate-limiting to meet strict service level objectives. You will also build telemetry systems, proactive dashboards, and complex validation tests like fault injection. To ensure operational excellence, you will implement robust security controls, manage infrastructure as code (IaC) for automated updates, and mentor peers. This role focuses on building the foundational architecture for cloud-native infrastructure to solve complex problems in distributed system reliability and performance.
