TL;DR · Senior Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure

As a Senior Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure, 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 critical patterns like retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts to manage network unreliability. Your daily work involves leveraging data plane platforms and distributed state tools for high-volume retrieval, storage, and processing. You will also develop automation through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for troubleshooting, create telemetry systems and dashboards for proactive monitoring, and apply advanced security controls like encryption in multi-tenant environments. This role addresses the technical challenges of maintaining data integrity and availability while ensuring system correctness through fault-injection testing and robust incident response protocols within complex distributed architectures.
