About the role

We are seeking a Core Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and operate the distributed systems that power reliable, secure, and scalable cloud services. This role combines hands-on engineering, systems thinking, operational leadership, and mentorship.

Responsibilities

  • System Design & Architecture: Scalability Lead the development, implementation, and architectural evolution of scalable distributed-system components that support horizontal and vertical growth, including distributed state-management tools.

  • Optimize code and systems for large-scale data processing and high-throughput workloads in hyperscale environments.

  • Define scalability requirements for owned components and ensure designs and implementations satisfy them.

  • Design for elastic capacity, enabling systems to scale up and down efficiently with demand.

  • Use data-plane platforms to support large-scale data retrieval, storage, and processing.

  • Design and execute performance and load-testing strategies.

  • System Design & Architecture: Reliability Build fault-tolerant components and systems that withstand in-service updates through redundancy, replication, and automatic failover.

  • Design systems to manage service disruptions, including network partitions, with explicit tradeoffs among consistency, availability, and partition tolerance.

  • Implement and optimize resilience mechanisms for network unreliability, including load shedding, throttling, and rate limiting.

  • Design durable components and systems that meet service-level objectives (SLOs) and establish clear availability and durability expectations for dependent services.

  • System Reliability: Performance, Observability & Correctness Define key performance indicators (KPIs) and telemetry that reveal gaps and issues in production systems.

  • Build and tailor dashboards, telemetry pipelines, and alerting mechanisms to proactively monitor component and system health.

  • Design and implement functional and correctness requirements for features and systems, whether new or existing.

  • Design complex test scenarios, including fault-injection and brownout testing, to validate system correctness.

  • Implement data replication and synchronization techniques that preserve data integrity and availability.

  • Operational Troubleshooting & Incident Management Proactively diagnose, debug, and resolve issues in active components and systems; mentor others in effective troubleshooting practices.

  • Implement approaches that avoid customer maintenance windows when resolving issues and minimize service interruption.

  • Maintain deep expertise in owned components and systems to enable effective troubleshooting and performance optimization.

  • Meet operational-readiness expectations through thoughtful design and implementation.

  • Participate in operational support rotations and provide leadership during incident response and root-cause investigations.

  • Security, Compliance & Change Management Implement security measures for multi-tenant environments, including encryption and access controls that protect data and applications.

  • Execute remediation plans to close identified security gaps.

  • Ensure cloud infrastructure complies with applicable industry standards and regulations, with current supporting documentation.

  • Develop and maintain automation tools and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) to manage cloud infrastructure.

  • Create and follow change-management plans for patching, updates, and rollbacks; design systems that increasingly automate these processes.
