This role bridges the universe of atoms, to the universe of bits.
We’ve built ground up infrastructure to deliver better-than-best-in-class experience to all of our users, by building datacenters all over the world.
They’re designed for performance of course, but also for resilience and reliability. Doesn’t matter how good your stuff is if it doesn’t stay up right?
Requirements
Built application level code (Golang, GRPC, Postgres, etc)
Made use of OS primitives (syscalls, cgroups, etc)
Delivered projects 0→N. Lead it, scaled it, seen your “brilliant solutions” become tech debt, etc
Operated with agency and urgency (bonus points if remotely!)
Had enough foresight to ship for today, design for 10x, and engineer for 100x in 18mo
Communicated clearly using RFCs/Docs/etc to break up + deliver large, nebulous tasks
Been oncall and know that you will be 1-2 weeks per quarter
Constructed monitoring, alerts, and dashboards to notify you before things break
Built the confidence to say no to 99% of things, and the grit to deliver the 1% that matter
Designed and procured $1m+ hardware for datacenters (desired)
Managed and orchestrated supply chains globally (desired)
Designed rack level layouts for optimal efficiency (heat/energy/etc) (desired)
Built automated systems for inventory management up to PXE bootstrapping (desired)
