Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Chalmers is a Senior System Engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable, production-grade infrastructure and user-facing products, currently leading backend, frontend and compiler/runtime work at Zoo as the team's primary Rust engineer. He previously led development of Cloudflare Tunnel and helped build their Data Loss Prevention product, delivering scalable, resilient systems and turning prototypes into paying products. Comfortable across systems and client code, he has shipped tooling from CLIs and code generators to complex distributed services and runtime components. Adam pairs a technical CS background with philosophy training—his honours thesis critiqued decision theory—and brings a theatre director’s knack for collaboration and clear communication to documentation, talks and team culture. Based in Austin, he prefers friendly, debate-driven workplaces and looks for roles that meaningfully improve the world rather than chase incremental consumer features. An avid writer of fiction and technical pieces, he balances deep engineering with a long-term view on societal challenges like climate change.
