TL;DR · Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

The Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer joins the Product and Research team to design, implement, and optimize components within distributed systems. This role focuses on ensuring scalability, resiliency, and operability for large-scale data processing, retrieval, and storage. Key responsibilities include building fault-tolerant paths using redundancy, replication, and automatic failover, while applying recovery-oriented computing principles like circuit breakers and timeouts. The engineer will develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for troubleshooting, manage telemetry systems, and perform load testing. Technical requirements include expertise in distributed state management tools, data plane platforms, and advanced security controls such as encryption and access remediation. The work involves solving complex problems regarding system correctness, data integrity, and maintaining high availability in multi-tenant environments through proactive monitoring and incident response.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement scalable components for distributed systems using distributed state management tools.
  • 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 scenarios, to ensure system correctness.
  • Author runbooks and operational procedures to support rapid recovery from service disruptions.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 3 to 5+ years of experience.
  • Must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Must be able to design, implement, and optimize components in distributed systems for scalability and resiliency.
  • Must be able to leverage data plane platforms and distributed state tools for high-volume data processing.
  • Must be able to implement fault-tolerant paths including redundancy, replication, and automatic failover.
  • Must be able to develop automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for troubleshooting and maintenance.
  • Must be able to apply advanced security controls such as encryption and access remediation.
  • Must be able to perform load testing, telemetry monitoring, and incident response.
