Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Roe is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience building scalable, distributed systems and APIs, currently at Quora after a long tenure leading platform work at Indeed. He has driven cross-organization technical consensus as a principal engineer, designing public GraphQL APIs, real-time aggregation systems with Kafka/Mongo/gRPC, and a secure Apollo+OPA strategy for public APIs. Aaron repeatedly led migrations—monolith to federated GraphQL microservices, Python-Django to Java-Spring Boot, and private to public cloud—improving reliability and scalability along the way. He pairs hands-on implementation (from Airflow integrations to notification pipelines) with technical mentorship and a knack for turning prototypes into production products. Based in the United States and grounded in a Rice University CS degree, he combines practical engineering fluency with a focus on interoperability and observability that surfaces in cross-team platform work.
