This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Engineer - Distributed Systems based in India.

This role focuses on the architecture and resilience of large-scale distributed systems operating under significant production load. You will look across services, queues, databases, infrastructure, and deployment patterns to identify systemic risks before they become incidents. The role begins with a high-throughput automation platform and expands across communication and emerging product systems. You will influence critical-path architecture while remaining hands-on, spending meaningful time prototyping solutions, resolving complex failures, and shipping remediation. You will help establish capacity models, consistency guarantees, isolation boundaries, and failure-handling strategies that can withstand continued growth. This is a high-ownership environment where technical rigor, proactive problem solving, and explicit cross-team communication are central to the role.

Accountabilities:





• Own the architecture health of large-scale distributed systems, including failure modes, capacity constraints, consistency guarantees, resilience, and interactions across numerous services and deployments.

• Review and influence critical-path technical designs, providing rigorous architectural guidance and making well-reasoned recommendations when teams face complex technical trade-offs.

• Proactively identify systemic risks such as single points of failure, unbounded queues, missing idempotency, thundering-herd effects, capacity constraints, and potential data-loss scenarios, then drive remediation before incidents occur.

• Build and ship solutions for complex architectural problems, including prototypes, reliability improvements, production remediation, and fixes for difficult cross-team issues.

• Design resilience into systems through degradation strategies, backpressure mechanisms, isolatio
