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.
