This is a high-impact role focused on ensuring creators and viewers receive reliable, high-performing video and web experiences at scale through resilient edge, caching, traffic-management, and routing capabilities. As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer (CDN), you will work across network infrastructure, systems, and software engineering to improve latency, availability, throughput, and capacity. You'll help design and operate cache hierarchies, origin protection, load balancing, traffic steering, and failover systems while using automation and observability to make the platform more efficient and resilient. This role requires strong Linux and internet-scale networking fundamentals, sound operational judgment, and a hands-on approach to solving complex production problems. If you enjoy optimizing content delivery, diagnosing difficult performance issues, and building fault-tolerant infrastructure for a mission-critical platform, you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact at Rumble. Responsibilities * Design, build, operate, and improve Rumble's CDN and edge-delivery infrastructure. * Improve video and content-delivery performance through cache optimization, traffic steering, load balancing, routing improvements, and capacity planning. * Develop and maintain systems for origin protection, cache hierarchy, cache-fill behavior, cache invalidation, failover, and traffic distribution across points of presence. * Partner with network, systems, and software engineering teams to diagnose and resolve latency, throughput, availability, and delivery-quality issues. * Build and maintain automation for configuration management, deployment, monitoring, and operational workflows. * Contribute to capacity planning, infrastructure expansion, and operational readiness for high-traffic services. * Participate in an on-call rotation, respond to incidents, drive resolution, and communicate status clearly to stakeholders. * Document infrastructure designs, operational procedures, incident findings, and subsequent reliability improvements., While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to sit for prolonged periods of time while using a computer and/or keyboard. The employee is required to communicate verbally and hear. The employee may be required to walk, reach with hands and arms, balance, and stoop or kneel. The employee may occasionally be required to lift and/or move up to 15 pounds. Specific vision abilities required by this job include clarity of vision at approximately 20 inches or less (i.e., working with small objects or reading small print), including the use of computers. ## Related Videos - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology)
