As a Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer, you will lead the development and architecture of scalable, elastic distributed systems designed for high-throughput, hyper-scale workloads. You will be responsible for optimizing code and data paths, managing large-scale retrieval and storage via data plane platforms, and ensuring system reliability through redundancy, replication, and failover mechanisms. Your daily work involves designing fault-tolerant components to handle network unreliability using load-shedding and rate-limiting while meeting strict service level objectives. You will establish KPIs, build proactive telemetry dashboards, and conduct complex validation tests like fault injection. Additionally, you will implement robust security controls in multi-tenant environments, manage compliance documentation, and develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate patching and rollbacks. This role focuses on building durable, in-service-upgradable infrastructure for large-scale data processing and distributed state management.
