TL;DR · Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

The Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer joins the team to design, implement, and optimize components within distributed systems, focusing on scalability, resiliency, and operability. The role involves building fault-tolerant paths using redundancy, replication, and automatic failover while implementing retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. Key responsibilities include developing automation and Infrastructure as Code for troubleshooting, managing data plane platforms for high-volume retrieval, and performing load testing. The candidate must utilize C/C++, DPDK, Linux kernels, and device drivers to solve complex networking and high-concurrency challenges. You will also manage security controls like encryption and access remediation in multi-tenant environments. This position requires expertise in cloud infrastructure concepts to maintain data integrity and availability while ensuring system correctness through fault-injection and brown-out testing scenarios.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement scalable components for distributed systems using distributed state management tools.
  • Optimize code and systems for high-volume data retrieval, storage, and large-scale processing.
  • Build fault-tolerant paths by implementing redundancy, replication, automatic failover, retries, and circuit breakers.
  • Develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for troubleshooting, maintenance, and cloud management.
  • Create dashboards, telemetry systems, and alarm configurations to proactively monitor component health.
  • Diagnose and resolve system issues while participating in incident response and root cause investigations.
  • Apply advanced security controls including encryption and access management in multi-tenant environments.
  • Execute performance and load tests, including fault-injection and brown-out scenarios, to ensure system correctness.

What we're looking for

  • 3 to 5+ years of relevant engineering, architecture, or development/operational experience.
  • Strong experience working on data plane architectures in networking devices.
  • Strong experience with high-concurrency systems.
  • Experience designing, developing, and optimizing high-performance network solutions using DPDK and C/C++.
  • Working experience with Linux OSes/kernels, device drivers, performance testing tools, and distributed debugging tools.
  • Expert knowledge of cloud infrastructure concepts and technologies.
  • Significant work experience in startups or fast-paced enterprise technology development environments.
  • Strong team player with outstanding communication, organization, and interpersonal skills.
