Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, implementation, and ongoing evolution of core distributed systems and data-plane services at hyperscale.
• Define scalability, elasticity, durability, and availability requirements for owned components and ensure designs meet them.
• Optimize high-throughput data paths for large-scale retrieval, storage, and processing using distributed state, replication, and synchronization patterns.
• Design fault-tolerant systems that support in-service updates through redundancy, automatic failover, and recovery-oriented design.
• Apply sound distributed-systems tradeoffs for network partitions and reliability, including load shedding, throttling, rate limiting, retries, and timeouts.
• Establish service-level objectives, key performance indicators, telemetry, dashboards, and proactive alerting for critical systems.
• Design and lead performance, load, fault-injection, and brownout testing to validate correctness, resilience, and operational readiness.
• Lead production incident diagnosis and recovery, guide root-cause analysis, and mentor engineers in operational excellence.

• Proficiency in one or more object-oriented or systems programming languages, such as Java, C++, C#, or Go.
• Deep understanding of distributed-systems design, data structures, algorithms, operating systems, networking, and secure software-development practices.
• Experience with system-level test automation, performance/load testing, reliability engineering, and production incident response.
• Demonstrated experience leading or influencing technical architecture and mentoring engineers.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or other large-scale cloud platforms.
• Experience with data-plane platforms, distributed storage, microservices, replication, state management, or high-throughput data processing.
