Infrastructure engineers at Wish are responsible for keeping the site stable and making sure that the user experience is responsive. They scale a massive, highly-available platform end-to-end, design distributed systems, validate performance, factor in security, and proactively monitor every corner of our stack. When things go wrong, they are on-hand to fight the fires. Our team releases every day, iterating quickly to maximize impact. Each engineer has the opportunity to work on all areas of the technology stack and they fully own their features, from product spec to database to client.

We have five unique and exciting Infrastructure sub-teams that require skilled engineers: Core, Security, Tools/Automation, Platform Services and IT. Each team is small, nimble and moves extremely fast while solving unusual and challenging problems: 

CORE engineers use Python, MongoDB, and Chef to program & validate the systems and tools that power our infrastructure. This includes improving the scalability of existing code, building new tools to give us more leverage over our infrastructure, developing automation for our servers, and architecting new ways to scale and support our user base.Job Responsibilities: The core team’s problems start in the application, go through load balancers, databases, caches, networks, kernels, and down to the bare metal hardware.
