TL;DR · Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

As a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer, you will join the team to design, implement, and optimize components within distributed systems focused on scalability, resiliency, and operability. You will build fault-tolerant paths including redundancy and automatic failover while managing high-volume retrieval, storage, and processing using data plane platforms and distributed state tools. Your daily work involves performing load tests, conducting peer reviews for scalability compliance, and developing automation and Infrastructure as Code via Terraform. The role requires expertise in Java or Scala, deep knowledge of networking protocols like TCP/IP and HTTP, and proficiency with databases and distributed persistence technologies. You will also address technical challenges involving multi-tenant virtualized infrastructure and AI adoption, including prompt engineering and agentic programming, while ensuring high-throughput performance through proactive monitoring, telemetry, and robust security controls such as encryption and access management.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize distributed system components for high scalability, resiliency, and operability.
  • Deliver features and perform load testing using data plane platforms and distributed state tools.
  • Build fault-tolerant paths including redundancy, replication, automatic failover, and circuit breakers.
  • Proactively detect and mitigate issues through telemetry, dashboards, and automated alerting systems.
  • Author runbooks and participate in incident response and root cause analysis (RCA).
  • Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
  • Implement advanced security controls including encryption, access management, and remediation.
  • Maintain and troubleshoot networking infrastructure for high-throughput use cases.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience delivering and operating large scale, highly available distributed systems.
  • Strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and distributed systems fundamentals.
  • Strong knowledge of networking protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP) and network architectures.
  • Ability to design, troubleshoot, and maintain networking infrastructure for high throughput use cases.
  • Strong understanding of databases, storage, and distributed persistence technologies.
  • Strong troubleshooting and performance tuning skills.
  • Strong knowledge of a base language such as Java, with a preference for functional programming languages like Scala (preferred).
  • Knowledge of AI adoption including prompt engineering and agentic programming, with ChatGPT and Codex experience a plus (preferred).
