Senior Manager, Core Infrastructure Engineering

Manages team delivering scalable distributed systems and components on a 2–4 quarter horizon. Standardizes engineering practices and scalability requirements across teams; oversees optimization for high‑throughput, hyper‑scale workloads; and ensures effective use of distributed state tools and data plane platforms. Guides teams to design fault‑tolerant, in‑service‑upgradable systems, set SLO‑aligned durability/availability targets, and implement resiliency mechanisms (load‑shedding, throttling, rate‑limiting). Provides oversight for KPIs, telemetry, and moderately complex dashboards;

directs design of functional/correctness requirements, fault‑injection tests, and replication/synchronization strategies. Ensures proactive incident management, operational readiness, and on‑call coverage; drives encryption/access control practices, remediation plans, and compliance documentation. Oversees development and maintenance of automation/IaC and partners with teams on change‑management plans enabling safe patching, updates, and rollbacks.

• Manages the development and implementation of scalable distributed systems and components across multiple teams, including the effective use of distributed state management tools.
• Oversees code and/or system optimization efforts for large‑scale data processing and high‑throughput requirements within and across teams to support hyper‑scale systems.
• Guides teams to define scalability requirements for owned components and ensures design and implementation requirements are met.
• Manages the use of data plane platforms to effectively handle large‑scale data retrieval, storage, and processing.
• Ensures team accurately designs performance and load testing.

• Manages the strategy for building fault‑tolerant components and systems capable of withstanding in‑service updates by guiding the implementation of redundancy, replication, and automatic failover mechanisms.
• Develops design strategies for systems to effectively handle service disruptions (e.g., network partitions) by prioritizing consistency, availability, or partition tolerance.
• Leads implementation and optimization initiatives across teams for approaches to handle network unreliability, including load‑shedding, throttling, and rate‑limiting.
• Guides teams to design components and systems that are durable and adhere to service level objectives (SLOs), setting expectations for availability and durability of other computing services within the department.

• Provides oversight in defining key performance indicators (KPIs) and telemetry to identify gaps or issues in running systems.
• Oversees the building and customization of moderately complex dashboards, telemetry systems, and alerting mechanisms to proactively monitor components and system health.

• Oversees the design and implementation of functional and correctness requirements for feature sets and/or systems in new or existing systems.
• Guides teams to design complex test scenarios (e.g., fault‑injection, brown‑out) to evaluate system correctness.
• Directs implementation strategies for data replication and synchronization techniques to maintain data integrity and availability.

• Guides teams to be proactive when diagnosing, debugging, and resolving issues in active components and systems to support ongoing operation.
• Ensures teams leverage expertise to prevent interruptions, ensuring no maintenance windows are required for customers and users when resolving issues.
• Oversees operational readiness…
