Join our team as a Core Infrastructure Engineer (IC2) to design, implement, and enhance distributed systems. You will focus on building scalable, resilient, and operability-focused components. This role involves developing features, conducting performance and load testing, and leveraging data plane platforms for high-volume data operations. You'll also be responsible for implementing robust fault-tolerant paths, applying recovery-oriented principles, and ensuring system reliability through retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. Proactively identify and resolve issues using tests, alarms, dashboards, and telemetry, and contribute to runbooks and incident response.

Key responsibilities include implementing standard replication and synchronization, automating troubleshooting and maintenance with IaC, and applying advanced security controls such as encryption and access management. You will ensure adherence to change, compliance, and documentation standards while contributing to a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Architect and implement scalable distributed system components, optimizing code for large-scale data processing. Design and build fault-tolerant systems incorporating redundancy, replication, and automatic failover. Configure and test reliability mechanisms like retries and circuit breakers. Develop testing and alarming configurations to monitor system health and facilitate recovery. Assist in diagnosing and debugging system issues, running automation scripts for troubleshooting, and participating in incident response. Implement basic security measures, including encryption and access controls, and support remediation efforts. Maintain automation scripts and adhere to change management processes for application updates and rollbacks.

This role is for an individual contributor at the IC2 level within the Product and Research category, specifically in Software Engineering.
