Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer
About the role
Designs, implements, and optimizes components in distributed systems with an emphasis on scalability, resiliency, and operability. Delivers features and load/performance tests; leverages data plane platforms and distributed state tools for high-volume retrieval, storage, and processing; and reviews peers’ implementations for scalability compliance. Builds fault-tolerant paths (redundancy, replication, automatic failover), applies recovery‑oriented principles, and implements retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. Proactively detects and mitigates issues via tests, alarms, dashboards, and telemetry; authors runbooks and participates in incident response and RCAs. Implements standard replication and synchronization, develops automation/IaC for troubleshooting and maintenance, and applies advanced security controls (encryption, access, remediation) while ensuring change, compliance, and documentation standards are met.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and operate highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant microservices across control plane, connectivity, distributed-systems data plane, and Linux daemon technologies.
- Contribute throughout the product lifecycle, from conceptualization and product definition through design, development, launch, and operational maturity.
- Identify opportunities to automate engineering workflows across development, testing, troubleshooting, operations, and documentation, leveraging AI-assisted and agentic approaches where appropriate.
- Measure and improve reliability, delivery velocity, operational efficiency, customer outcomes, and engineering productivity, while sharing effective practices across the team.
- You should be a hands-on, adaptable, and self-motivated engineer
