Responsibilities The Data Systems Infrastructure (DSI) team stands as the unseen architects behind the scenes. In a thrilling dance of technology and innovation, we propel the company's meteoric rise by constructing and orchestrating colossal data fortresses, taming the life cycle of server fleets, conjuring Cloud solutions, and crafting a symphony of infrastructure services. Our mission is to ensure scalability and unwavering reliability, making sure ByteDance's digital footprint leaves an indelible mark on the world.
Embark on an exciting expedition to explore the rapidly expanding ByteDance domain in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

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.
