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 retry mechanisms, circuit breakers, and timeouts to manage network unreliability. Your daily work involves developing automation scripts via Infrastructure as Code, performing load testing, and creating telemetry dashboards to proactively monitor system health. The role requires expertise in data plane architectures for networking devices, high-concurrency systems, and performance optimization using DPDK, C/C++, Linux kernels, and device drivers. You will solve complex problems regarding large-scale data retrieval and processing while ensuring security through encryption and access controls within multi-tenant environments to maintain data integrity and availability across distributed infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize distributed system components for high-volume data processing, scalability, and reliability.
  • Implement fault-tolerant features including redundancy, replication, automatic failover, circuit breakers, and retries.
  • Develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to streamline troubleshooting and maintenance.
  • Build monitoring systems, including custom dashboards, telemetry, and automated alerting for proactive issue detection.
  • Participate in incident response, perform root cause analysis, and author operational runbooks.
  • Execute performance and load testing to ensure system stability under high demand.
  • Implement advanced security controls such as encryption and access management in multi-tenant environments.
  • Ensure infrastructure compliance with industry standards through consistent documentation and change management.

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 working on data plane architectures in networking devices.
  • Requires strong experience with high-concurrency systems.
  • Experience designing and optimizing high performance network solutions using DPDK and C/C++.
  • Experience with Linux OSes/kernels, device drivers, performance testing tools, and distributed debugging tools.
  • Expert knowledge of cloud infrastructure concepts and technologies.
  • Experience working in startups or fast-paced enterprise technology development environments.
