Distributed systems arise everywhere. Even multi core CPUs are distributed systems.

Scale is not as much an issue as ensuring correctness. Projects with scale don’t necessarily have interesting distributed systems, and often merely involve using open source solutions.

As long as you build networking systems and recognize the potential distributed systems issues you’ll find them everywhere. And if you fix them properly you will get the practice you need

I already work on those. But scale does bring in a new set of challenges, and I am specifically looking for experience with that.
