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 focused 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 retries. Your daily work involves developing automation through Infrastructure as Code, managing data plane platforms for high-volume retrieval, and performing load testing to ensure system correctness. The role requires expertise in C/C++, DPDK, Linux kernels, and device drivers to solve complex problems in high-concurrency environments. You will also manage security controls like encryption and access management while participating in incident response and root cause analysis. This position addresses the technical challenges of maintaining large-scale data processing and infrastructure stability within 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.
