We do this by building and operating the world’s best data and AI infrastructure platform.

  • Service-to-Service Communication: Design scalable mechanisms for service discovery and load balancing across thousands of clusters. Provide networking abstractions so product teams don’t need to worry about underlying connectivity details.
  • Overload Protection: Build intelligent rate limiting and admission control systems to protect critical services under high load. Ensure reliability and predictable performance for both customer-facing and internal workloads.

  • BS (or higher) in Computer Science or related field
  • 5+ years of experience designing and building large-scale distributed systems
  • Strong proficiency in one or more languages such as Java, Scala, Go, or C++
