Join our team as a Core Infrastructure Engineer 2, where you'll play a crucial role in implementing and refining components within our dynamic distributed systems. You will focus on applying scalability principles, conducting performance and load testing, and configuring essential resiliency features. This position involves building robust telemetry and alerting systems, developing operational procedures, and contributing to the delivery of scoped features and fault-injection tests. You'll also gain experience in basic data replication and synchronization techniques. This role offers the opportunity to participate in on-call rotations, leverage automation and IaC scripts for troubleshooting, and ensure adherence to security and compliance protocols. You will be guided by senior engineers and have the chance to escalate complex issues for resolution.

This role emphasizes understanding and implementing system scalability, optimizing code for large-scale data processing, and meeting specific component scalability requirements. You will learn about data plane platforms and execute performance and load testing under expert guidance. The position also involves contributing to the design of fault-tolerant components, understanding redundancy, replication, and automatic failover mechanisms. You will learn about recovery-oriented computing principles and assist in applying them to component designs, as well as configure and test retry mechanisms, circuit breakers, and timeouts to enhance reliability.
