About the Team

The Service Stability Engineering Team envisions service stability as one of the core competitive strengths of the company's products. By building end-to-end, link-level risk management capabilities, the team aims to achieve sustainable automatic identification and analysis of stability risks, transforming from "reactive governance" to "proactive governance." This approach shifts more stability-related matters forward and addresses them early, preventing issues before they arise and enhancing user experience.

Job Responsibilities

• Design and lead the stability architecture for large-scale distributed systems, including big data platforms, data warehouses, and core middleware infrastructure.
• Develop and optimize comprehensive stability strategies covering capacity planning, performance optimization, fault prevention, and disaster recovery.
• Spearhead chaos engineering practices, designing complex fault injection scenarios to validate system resilience and self-healing capabilities.
• Build and refine comprehensive monitoring and alerting systems for rapid fault detection, localization, and recovery.
• Lead root cause analysis for major incidents and formulate long-term improvement plans to continuously enhance system availability and reliability.
• Drive infrastructure intelligence and automation, designing and implementing AIOps solutions.
• Collaborate closely with product, development, and operations teams to integrate stability requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
• Lead the development of stability-related technical standards and best practices, promoting their adoption across the organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science or related field, with 10+ years of architectural design experience in large-scale internet or cloud computing platforms.
• Expert knowledge of distributed system architectures, with deep understanding and rich practical experience in big data, cloud-native, and microservice technologies.
• In-depth understanding of various infrastructure components (e.g., Kubernetes, Kafka, Database) and ability to perform advanced tuning.
• Strong systems thinking capability, able to analyze and solve complex stability issues from a holistic perspective.
• Extensive experience in handling large-scale system failures, with the ability to quickly locate and resolve challenging problems.
• Mastery of Linux systems and network technologies, familiarity with mainstream cloud platforms (e.g., Alibaba Cloud, AWS) architecture and services.
• Excellent technical leadership skills, able to guide teams and drive cross-departmental collaboration.
• Strong communication and documentation skills, with the ability to engage in technical discussions in both Chinese and English.
• Passion for continuous learning, able to quickly grasp new technologies and apply them in practical work scenarios.

Perks & Benefits

• Competitive total compensation
• Comprehensive insurance coverage for employees and their dependants
