✨ AI Summary
We are seeking a Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer to lead the development and architecting of scalable, elastic distributed systems. This role involves optimizing code and data paths for high-throughput, hyper-scale workloads, and designing fault-tolerant systems with redundancy, replication, and failover. The engineer will establish KPIs and telemetry, build proactive dashboards and alerts, and design complex validation and synchronization mechanisms. Key responsibilities include diagnosing and resolving production issues, mentoring peers, ensuring operational readiness, implementing robust security controls, and developing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation for safe patching, updates, and rollbacks.
The ideal candidate will have strong technical depth in distributed systems, Networking, and AI infrastructure protocols like RDMA. Experience in building infrastructure platforms and a passion for tackling open-ended problems are essential. This is a senior individual contributor role (IC4) focused on driving major technical components within the platform, translating high-level goals into scalable designs, and delivering reliable, cloud-native solutions. The role also involves leading design reviews, being a hands-on contributor, mentoring peers, and advocating for best practices.

Description
Leads development and begins architecting components of scalable, elastic distributed systems. Defines and enforces scalability requirements for owned components; optimizes code and data paths for high‑throughput, hyper‑scale workloads; and leverages data plane platforms for large‑scale retrieval, storage, and processing. Designs fault‑tolerant, in‑service‑upgradable systems using redundancy, replication, failover, and policies for partitions, applying load‑shedding, throttling, and rate‑limiting to handle network unreliability while meeting SLOs. Establishes KPIs and telemetry; builds proactive dashboards and alerts; and designs complex validation (fault injection, brownouts), replication, and synchronization for correctness and durability. Proactively diagnoses and resolves production issues, mentors peers, and ensures operational readiness. Implements robust security controls, executes remediation, maintains compliance documentation, and develops IaC and automation that enable safe patching, updates, and rollbacks within change‑management plans.
