# Senior Infra Engineer: Observability

Job description Our core mission at Railway is to make software engineers higher leverage. We believe that people should be given powerful tools so that they can spend less time setting up to do, and more time doing. Many infrastructure platforms simply focus on how you deploy your singular application, and now how these applications function in concert. Questions like “How do you build systems for zero downtime deployment”, “How do you do service-to-service communications”, etc are usually left up to the engineers to define. At Railway, our goal is to be an all encompassing solution to all these problems. As such, we take special care as we define our networking infrastructure. Note: Networking falls under the platform engineering umbrella. If you’re specialized, we’d love to chat! That said, we’d also like it noted you’re probably going to do a lot of non-networking + platform things “But the world would be a better place if more engineers, like me, hated technology. The stuff I design, if I'm successful, nobody will ever notice. Things will just work, and will be self-managing” - Radia Perlman About The Role For this role, you will: Build ingestion pipelines to consume 1M+ RPS s
