Role Posting Log in to save

As a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer within the Next Generation Networking organization, you will join a high-impact team focused on building a unified global intelligence and control layer for cloud infrastructure. You will design, implement, and operate distributed control-plane and observability software for data center and WAN network orchestration while developing algorithms for route computation, congestion management, fault isolation, and traffic steering. The role involves creating systems that correlate real-time signals to trigger automated responses and ensuring high availability at scale. To succeed, you must possess expertise in distributed systems, core algorithms, and networking fundamentals like L2/L3, TCP/IP, and VLANs. You will utilize Java, Go, or Rust to build service-oriented architectures. The work addresses the technical challenge of creating a closed-loop Observe–Predict–Decide–Act model to improve reliability and customer experience across distributed networks.
