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 like circuit breakers and timeouts. Your daily work involves developing automation and Infrastructure as Code for maintenance, performing load testing, and managing incident responses through runbooks and telemetry dashboards. The role requires expertise in data plane architectures on networking devices, high-concurrency systems, and performance optimization using DPDK and C/C++. You will also utilize Linux kernels, device drivers, and distributed debugging tools to ensure data integrity in multi-tenant environments. This position solves critical challenges regarding large-scale data processing, retrieval, and storage within complex, high-performance network solutions.

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 retries.
  • Develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to streamline troubleshooting and maintenance.
  • Build monitoring infrastructure including custom dashboards, telemetry systems, and proactive alerting configurations.
  • 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.
  • Implement advanced security controls such as encryption and access management for multi-tenant environments.
  • Manage cloud infrastructure compliance, documentation, and change management protocols.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 3+ years of relevant engineering, architecture, or development/operational experience.
  • Must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Requires strong experience with data plane architectures in networking devices.
  • Requires experience designing and optimizing high-performance network solutions using DPDK and C/C++.
  • Requires experience with high-concurrency systems.
  • Requires working experience with Linux OSes/kernels, device drivers, performance testing tools, and distributed debugging tools.
  • Requires expert knowledge of cloud infrastructure concepts and technologies.
  • Must possess strong communication, organization, and interpersonal skills to work in geographically distributed teams.
