TL;DR · Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

The Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer joins the Product and Research team to design, implement, and optimize components within distributed systems. This role focuses on building scalable, resilient, and operable infrastructure by developing fault-tolerant paths including redundancy, replication, and automatic failover. The engineer will handle large-scale data retrieval, storage, and processing using data plane platforms and distributed state management tools. Key responsibilities include performing load testing, creating automation scripts via Infrastructure as Code, and managing incident responses through telemetry and runbooks. The position requires expertise in high-concurrency systems, networking devices, and cloud infrastructure. Candidates must possess proficiency in C/C++, DPDK, Linux kernels, and device drivers. The work involves solving complex problems related to data integrity, synchronization, and advanced security controls like encryption in multi-tenant environments.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize distributed system components for high-volume data processing, scalability, and resiliency.
  • Implement fault-tolerant mechanisms including redundancy, replication, automatic failover, circuit breakers, and timeouts.
  • Develop automated tools and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to streamline troubleshooting and maintenance.
  • Build monitoring systems featuring custom dashboards, telemetry, and alerting to proactively detect system 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.
  • Maintain cloud infrastructure compliance with industry standards and internal documentation requirements.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 3+ years of experience in engineering, architecture, or development/operations.
  • Must possess strong experience working on data plane architectures in networking devices.
  • Must have strong experience with high-concurrency systems.
  • Must have experience designing and optimizing high-performance network solutions using DPDK and C/C++.
  • Must have experience with Linux OSes/kernels, device drivers, performance testing tools, and distributed debugging tools.
  • Must possess expert knowledge of cloud infrastructure concepts and technologies.
  • Must be able to communicate effectively and work well within geographically distributed teams.
  • Must be comfortable in fast-paced environments and capable of learning new technologies quickly.
