Role Posting Log in to save

As a Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer, you will join the team to lead the development and architecture of scalable, elastic distributed systems. You will be responsible for optimizing code and data paths for high-throughput, hyper-scale workloads while leveraging data plane platforms for large-scale retrieval, storage, and processing. Your daily work involves designing fault-tolerant components using redundancy, replication, and failover mechanisms to handle network unreliability through load-shedding and rate-limiting. You will establish KPIs, build proactive monitoring dashboards, and design complex validation scenarios like fault injection to ensure system correctness. Additionally, you will implement robust security controls in multi-tenant environments and develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for automated deployment. This role focuses on solving critical infrastructure challenges involving high availability, data integrity, and seamless operational readiness within a complex distributed environment.
