As a Senior Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure, you will join a specialized team focused on solving foundational distributed-systems, developer-platform, and reliability problems for cloud infrastructure. You will design, implement, and optimize components in distributed systems with an emphasis on scalability, resiliency, and operability. Your daily work involves building fault-tolerant paths through redundancy and replication, implementing circuit breakers and timeouts, and developing automation via Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to manage large-scale data processing. You will also perform load testing, create telemetry dashboards, and participate in incident response for high-volume retrieval and storage systems. The role requires expertise in distributed state management tools, advanced security controls like encryption, and automated deployment pipelines. This position addresses the critical challenge of ensuring that cloud services can be deployed and operated reliably at an unprecedented scale.
