Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer

Responsibilities

• Responsibilities
• Network Observability & Service Architecture
• Own the architecture and technical evolution of critical services within OCI’s network observability platform.
• Design distributed services that collect, process, aggregate, store, query, and expose network telemetry at cloud scale.
• Design scalable telemetry ingestion and processing pipelines for high-volume and high-cardinality data.
• Develop capabilities for monitoring network health, topology, state, performance, and device behavior.
• Design solutions that enable timely detection, diagnosis, and isolation of network failures and performance degradation.
• Ensure telemetry quality, completeness, freshness, accuracy, and availability within owned services.
• Scalability & Distributed Systems
• Design horizontally scalable and elastic services capable of supporting continued OCI infrastructure and traffic growth.
• Identify and resolve performance, throughput, latency, storage, and scalability bottlenecks.
• Design high-throughput streaming and event-processing systems, including partitioning, buffering, aggregation, backpressure, and failure handling.
• Implement resilient state management, replication, synchronization, and recovery mechanisms.
• Make appropriate engineering trade-offs across consistency, availability, latency, durability, performance, and cost.
• Reliability & Operational Excellence
• Define and meet SLOs for availability, durability, latency, data freshness, and correctness of owned services.
• Design fault-tolerant services that operate through infrastructure failures, network disruptions, dependency failures, and software upgrades.
• Define KPIs, telemetry, dashboards, and alerts required to understand service health and identify operational risks.
• Lead diagnosis and resolution of complex production issues involving owned services and their dependencies.
• Lead root-cause investigations and implement corrective actions that prevent recurrence.
