Responsibilities
Own ultra-low-latency EC2 fleets - Design cluster placement groups with ENA / SR-IOV networking.
Kernel-level performance tuning - Apply CPU pinning, NUMA alignment, IRQ affinity, hugepages, and TCP/UDP sysctl tweaks to flatten tail latency.
Immutable infrastructure \& automated rollouts - Build Packer AMIs and Terraform Auto Scaling Groups; run GitLab/Jenkins pipelines with blue-green or canary deploys and sub-2-minute automatic rollbacks.
High-throughput messaging \& gateways - Operate Kafka clusters (partition/ISR tuning, rack awareness) and Nginx WebSocket edges serving 100 k + clients with single-digit-ms fan-out.
Network integrity - Run packet-loss analysis and MTU/ECN/queue-depth tuning; enforce least-privilege security-group micro-segmentation.
Observability \& SLO stewardship - Instrument Prometheus/Grafana dashboards for order-ack latency, queue depth, reject rate; write Alertmanager rules driven by p95/p99 error-budget burn.
Reliability testing \& incident response - Schedule chaos/load drills; take part in 24 à 7 on-call, use perf/eBPF/FlameGraphs/tcpdump for ”s-level RCA, and publish post-mortems with remediation actions.
Capacity planning around macro events - Pre-warm spot pools and leverage Savings Plans to balance headroom and cost.
Automation \& tooling - Write Go/Python scripts for bootstrap, health probes, latency regression tests, and one-click remediation.
Cross-team collaboration - Pair with Java/Rust engineers and quants to profile hot-path code, and eliminate bottlenecks without trading downtime.
