TL;DR · Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

As a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer, you will join the team to design, implement, and optimize components within distributed systems, focusing specifically on scalability, resiliency, and operability. You will build fault-tolerant paths using redundancy, replication, and automatic failover while implementing recovery-oriented principles such as retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. Your daily work involves developing automation and Infrastructure as Code for troubleshooting, managing data plane platforms for high-volume retrieval and storage, and performing load testing to ensure system correctness. You will also manage security controls like encryption and access management in multi-tenant environments. The role requires expertise in distributed systems and virtual networking to solve complex problems regarding large-scale data processing and infrastructure maintenance. You will proactively mitigate issues through telemetry, dashboards, and runbooks while ensuring all components meet strict compliance and documentation standards.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize distributed system components for high-volume data processing, scalability, and reliability.
  • Implement fault-tolerant mechanisms including redundancy, replication, automatic failover, circuit breakers, and timeouts.
  • Develop automated infrastructure (IaC) and tooling to streamline troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
  • Build monitoring systems featuring custom dashboards, telemetry, and alert configurations to proactively detect failures.
  • Conduct performance testing, load testing, and fault-injection scenarios to ensure system correctness.
  • Participate in incident response, perform root cause analysis, and author operational runbooks.
  • Apply advanced security controls including encryption and access management for multi-tenant environments.
  • Manage cloud infrastructure compliance and documentation according to industry standards.

What we're looking for

  • Applicants must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Candidates must have 3 to 5+ years of relevant experience.
  • Experience in designing and optimizing distributed systems for scalability and resiliency is required.
  • Proficiency in virtual networking is required.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for managing cloud infrastructure is required.
  • Ability to implement advanced security controls including encryption and access management.
  • Experience with data plane platforms for high-volume retrieval, storage, and processing is required.
  • Ability to perform load testing, fault injection, and telemetry monitoring.
