Responsibilities

• Design and implement components of distributed systems that support horizontal and vertical scaling, including use of distributed state management tools.
• Optimize code and systems for large-scale data processing and implement scalability requirements for assigned components; review team members’ implementations for scalability.
• Use data-plane platform components for large-scale data retrieval, storage, and processing, and implement performance and load testing.
• Build fault-tolerant components that support in-service updates through redundancy, replication, and automatic failover; apply recovery-oriented computing principles and implement retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts.
• Implement tests and alarm configurations to detect and address issues; create dashboards, telemetry, and alerting to monitor component health.
• Draft and execute runbooks and operational procedures to support recovery from failures.
• Design and implement feature requirements and tests, including fault-injection and brown-out scenarios, and use replication and synchronization techniques to maintain data integrity and availability.
• Diagnose, debug, and resolve system-component issues; implement strategies to prevent interruptions and avoid customer maintenance windows when resolving issues.
• Build automation scripts and tooling for operational troubleshooting; participate in operational support rotations, incident response, and root-cause investigations.
