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 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 leveraging data plane platforms and distributed state tools for high-volume retrieval, storage, and processing. You will also develop automation and Infrastructure as Code to manage cloud infrastructure and ensure security through encryption and access controls. The role requires expertise in distributed systems, kernel programming, and system programming to solve complex problems regarding large-scale data processing and system reliability. You will proactively monitor health via telemetry and dashboards while participating in incident response and root cause analysis to maintain high availability.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize distributed systems components for high scalability, resiliency, and large-scale data processing.
  • Implement fault-tolerant mechanisms including redundancy, replication, automatic failover, circuit breakers, and retries.
  • Build monitoring infrastructure such as custom dashboards, telemetry systems, and automated alerting to detect failures.
  • Develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for troubleshooting, maintenance, and cloud management.
  • 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 in multi-tenant environments.
  • Ensure infrastructure compliance with industry standards and maintain accurate technical documentation.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 3 to 5+ years of relevant experience.
  • Proficiency in distributed systems is required.
  • Experience in kernel programming is required.
  • Experience in system programming is required.
  • Ability to read, write, and speak English.
