Infrastructure Software Engineer Metadata Core

This role offers the opportunity to build and operate large-scale distributed database and storage infrastructure in a fully remote environment. You will work on systems where low latency, strong consistency, high availability, and fault tolerance are critical. The position involves designing replication, partitioning, consensus, caching, and durability mechanisms that support scalable data platforms. You will develop performance-critical infrastructure using Go, Rust, C++, or similar systems programming languages. The role also combines hands-on engineering with production operations, complex troubleshooting, and reliability improvements. You will collaborate with infrastructure and product engineering teams while contributing to the long-term evolution of distributed data systems.

• At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, including replication, consistency, partitioning, and fault tolerance.
• Experience building or operating database platforms, distributed databases, storage systems, or large-scale database infrastructure.
• Strong programming experience in Go, Rust, C++, or a similar systems programming language.
• Hands-on experience working with production systems and resolving complex technical issues.
• Strong debugging, performance analysis, and system optimization skills.
• Familiarity with distributed consensus and coordination technologies such as Raft, Paxos, ZooKeeper, or etcd.
• Ability to contribute effectively to system design discussions and collaborate across engineering teams.
