About the Team
The Infrastructure Engineering team supports the company's fast growth by building and operating hyperscale datacenters. The team manages the end to end lifecycle of server fleet, providing cloud solutions and various infrastructure services ensuring that they are scalable and are reliable.
Embark on an exciting expedition to explore the rapidly expanding ByteDance domain in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Here, the Infrastructure Engineering team is crafting monumental data citadels that encircle the planet, sheltering legions of hundreds of thousands of servers. As the maestro of our production systems, you will embark on a captivating odyssey, taming the life cycles of these servers. Your adventure will begin with the orchestration of their initial deployment, navigating the intricate terrain of OS installation, summoning services like a digital magician, and maintaining vigilant watch over our inventory. But, like any epic tale, there will be times of challenge when you become a troubleshooter extraordinaire, mending and restoring with unwavering dedication. Eventually, you'll guide them into the sunset, orchestrating their decommissioning and ensuring their rebirth through recycling, all while contributing to the pulsating rhythm of ByteDance's technological evolution.

• Automation: Develop and deploy tools and solutions to enhance the automation, reliability, scalability, and operability of servers in the datacenter.
• Monitoring: Develop and deploy tools and solutions for improving the availability, latency, and overall service of the datacenter infrastructure, server, and network health.
• Disaster Recovery: Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in a time-sensitive environment. Conduct high-level root-cause analysis for service interruption and establish preventive measures. Practice sustainable incident response and postmortem.
• Cross-team Collaboration: Collaborate with stakeholders such as infrastructure architects, project managers, data center operations engineers, platform developers, supply chain teams, and our internal customers to comprehend overarching business objectives. Additionally, you will have the chance to design and implement innovative solutions for our Core IDCs and CDN/Edge.
• On-call: Engage in our on-call support spanning across regions and incident response teams to address critical issues in the production environment.
