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. This role involves building fault-tolerant paths using redundancy, replication, and automatic failover while implementing retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. The engineer will develop automation and Infrastructure as Code for troubleshooting, manage telemetry systems, and perform load testing. Key responsibilities include handling large-scale data retrieval and processing using data plane platforms. Required technical skills include C/C++, DPDK, Linux OSes/kernels, device drivers, and distributed debugging tools. The work centers on high-concurrency systems and high-performance network solutions, specifically addressing data plane architectures in networking devices. The engineer ensures data integrity, applies advanced security controls like encryption, and maintains compliance in multi-tenant environments.

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

  • 3+ 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 communication, organization, and interpersonal skills to work effectively within geographically distributed teams.
