That is why the infra team get paid the big bucks (bigger than normal SWE) and are basically untouchable in layoff rounds. I know FB was still in full hiring mode for infra folks, even in the middle of layoffs / hiring freezes. I assume this is the same at the other FAANG / FAANG-adjacent companies.
