Principal Systems Engineer | Realtime Infrastructure&Distrib …, Araria

Terraflock builds foundational infrastructure for distributed adaptive environments. Our work spans: realtime coordination systems, distributed infrastructure, operational reliability, adaptive systems, and edge-native architecture. We care deeply about: systems thinking, operational clarity,architectural integrity, reliability under real-world conditions, and long-horizon engineering. We optimize for engineers who: build, debug, reason from first principles, and care about how systems behave under imperfect operating conditions. Teams remain intentionally lean with high ownership across infrastructure, product, and operational boundaries.Role This role focuses on: realtime infrastructure, distributed coordination systems, Android/iOS operating-system behavior, deployment reliability, recovery systems, and operational hardening. The work involves: difficult production debugging, distributed systems behavior, mobile OS constraints,network reliability, runtime analysis, recovery architecture, and infrastructure behavior under real operating conditions. You will work closely with the founder across infrastructure and operational systems. Areas Of Responsibility Realtime delivery and coordination systems Distributed infrastructure and relay architectureDurable local state and recovery behavior Android/iOS operating-system constraints Notification and call reliability Infrastructure hardening and operational tooling Reliability instrumentation and failure analysis Deployment systems and operational continuity Cross-platform architectural alignmentInternal engineering standards and technical documentation What We Value Strong systems thinking Reliability-oriented engineering judgment Ability to debug from first principles Operational discipline Clear technical reasoning Comfort reading logs, runtime behavior, and OS-level constraints directlyAbility to move quickly without weakening architectural integrity Comfort operating across infrastructure and application boundaries Strong independent execution We value engineers who: investigate before assuming, simplify before expanding, and optimize for operational correctness under real conditions.Strong Signals Realtime systems experience Messaging, VoIP, sync, networking, or distributed systems background Android or iOS systems-level expertise Production reliability ownership Infrastructure debugging experience Experience handling difficult runtime behavior in production Ability to reason about retries, recovery systems, and distributed stateExperience working across backend and client systems Strong engineering judgment around operational tradeoffs Technical Environment Current system areas include: Android infrastructure systems iOS rollout staging Distributed relay infrastructure Realtime coordination systems Mobile networking and recovery layersReliability-focused operational tooling Adaptive infrastructure experimentation Engineers are expected to use modern AI tooling aggressively for acceleration while independently validating correctness through: reasoning, testing, logs, runtime analysis, and architectural review. What This Role Is NotThis is not: a process-management role, a bureaucracy-heavy environment, a narrow UI-only role, or a feature-factory engineering culture. We optimize for: operational reliability, architectural clarity, deployment speed, and resilient infrastructure behavior. Compensation Compensation includes:competitive salary, meaningful long-term equity participation, high ownership, and direct involvement in foundational infrastructure systems. Location: Remote-compatible for exceptional candidates. To Apply: Please send: Resume, GitHub, LinkedIn, or technical work Brief overview of systems you've built or difficult engineering problems you've solvedRelevant infrastructure, mobile, or distributed systems experience In addition to technical background, please include a brief cover letter describing: systems or infrastructure problems you've worked on, difficult engineering situations you've debugged or resolved, how you approach reliability and operational correctness,and why this role specifically interests you. Concise, thoughtful applications are preferred over generic submissions.
