Jobbeschreibung

Job Description

Implements and optimizes components within existing distributed systems under guidance. Applies basic scalability requirements, conducts performance/load testing, and configures resiliency features (retries, circuit breakers, timeouts) to handle network variability. Builds telemetry, alerts, and runbook-driven procedures; delivers scoped features and fault-injection tests; and helps implement basic data replication and synchronization. Assists with on-call rotations, uses automation/IaC scripts to troubleshoot, and follows change, security, and compliance procedures (encryption, access controls, remediation plans) while escalating complex issues to senior engineers.

Responsibilities

System Design & Architecture - System Scalability

Implements and contributes to the development for components of distributed systems that support horizontal and vertical scaling including leveraging distributed state management tools. Optimizes code and/or systems for large-scale data processing in large-scale systems. Implements scalability requirements for assigned components and reviews implementation of team members. Leverages components of data plane platforms to handle large-scale data retrieval, storage, and processing. Implements performance and load testing.

System Design & Architecture - System Reliability Design

Collaborates with team to build fault-tolerant components capable of withstanding in-service updates by implementing redundancy, replication, and automatic failover mechanisms. Applies recovery-oriented computing principles to design components that effectively handle service disruptions. Implements retry mechanisms, circuit breakers, and timeouts to help handle network unreliability.

System Design & Architecture - System Reliability Performance

Implements tests and alarm configurations to proactively detect and address issues/failures. Supports efforts to recover from failures by drafting and executing runbooks and operational procedures. Builds and customizes dashboards, telemetry systems, and alerting mechanisms to monitor component health.

System Design & Architecture - Correctness / Availability

Designs and implements functional requirements and testing for assigned features within an existing system. Implements tests scenarios (e.g., fault-injection, brown-out) to evaluate system correctness. Implements standard data replication and synchronization techniques to maintain data integrity and availability.

Operational Troubleshooting & Incident Management

Diagnoses, debugs, and resolves issues in system components to support ongoing operation. Implements basic strategies to prevent interruptions, ensuring no maintenance windows are required for customers and users when resolving issues. Designs and implements automation scripts and tooling used to troubleshoot operational issues. Participates in operational support rotations, assisting in incident responses and root cause investigations.

Compliance & Security

Applies advanced security measures to protect data and applications in multi-tenant environments, including encryption and access controls. Implements remediation plans to continuously improve security. Collaborates with the team to ensure cloud infrastructure complies with relevant industry standards and regulations and that documentation is up-to-date.

Automation & Change Management

Maintains automation scripts and tools (e.g., Infrastructure as Code (IaC)) for managing cloud infrastructure. Adheres to change management plans for patching, updating, and rolling back applications.

Responsibilities

As a Core Infrastructure Software Engineer, you will:

• Design, develop, and operate highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant microservices across control plane, connectivity, distributed-systems data plane, and Linux daemon technologies.
