System Design & Architecture

System Scalability:
  • Lead the development and implementation, and begin to architect, components of scalable distributed systems that support horizontal and vertical scaling to meet system demands, including leveraging distributed state management tools.
  • Optimize code and/or systems for large-scale data processing and high-throughput requirements to support hyper-scale systems.
  • Define scalability requirements for owned components and ensure design and implementation requirements are met.
  • Design systems to scale with elasticity (e.g., effectively scaling both up and down).
  • Leverage data plane platforms to effectively handle large-scale data retrieval, storage, and processing.
  • Design performance and load testing.


System Reliability Design:
  • Build and design fault-tolerant components and systems capable of withstanding in-service updates by implementing redundancy, replication, and automatic failover mechanisms.
  • Design systems to effectively handle service disruptions (e.g., network partitions) by prioritizing consistency, availability, or partition tolerance.
  • Implement and optimize approaches to handle network unreliability, including load-shedding, throttling, and rate-limiting.
  • 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.


System Reliability Performance:
  • Define key performance indicators (KPIs) and telemetry to identify gaps or issues in running systems.
  • Build and customize moderately complex dashboards, telemetry systems, and alerting mechanisms to proactively monitor components and system health


Correctness / Availability:
  • Design and implement functional and correctness requirements for feature sets and/or systems in new or existing systems.
  • Design complex test scenarios (e.g., fault-injection, brown-out) to evaluate system correctness.
  • Implement data replication and synchronization techniques to maintain data integrity and availability.


Operational Troubleshooting & Incident Management:
  • Take a proactive role in diagnosing, debugging, and resolving issues in active components and systems to support ongoing operation, and mentor others in these processes.
  • Implement strategies to prevent interruptions, ensuring no maintenance windows are required for customers and users when resolving issues.
  • Maintain expertise in owned components and systems to ensure effective troubleshooting and performance.
  • Meet operational readiness expectations through design and implementation.
  • Serve in operational support rotations, providing guidance in incident response and root cause investigations.


Compliance & Security:
  • Implement robust security measures to protect data and applications in multi-tenant environments, including encryption techniques and access controls.
  • Execute remediation plans to address identified security gaps.
  • Ensure cloud infrastructure is in compliance with industry standards and regulations and that documentation is up to date.


Automation & Change Management:
  • Develop and maintain automation scripts and tools (e.g., Infrastructure as Code (IaC)) to manage cloud infrastructure.
  • Create and adhere to change management plans for patching, updating, and rolling back applications, and begin designing systems and components to allow for automation of these processes.
