Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlejandro Baltra is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable backend and microservice architectures, now working at Meta after a string of impactful roles at Billtrust. He has deep hands-on expertise designing large-scale data solutions—architecting MongoDB Atlas sharding for a 5TB cluster, implementing CDC integrations with Debezium/Kafka to handle tens of millions of daily updates, and operating Node.js services that process ~30 million requests per day. Alejandro combines technical leadership with product-minded collaboration, having led IdAM efforts, driven Terraform and CI/CD automation, and partnered with UX and security teams to ship reliable systems. He gravitates toward high-risk, high-reward startup environments and has repeatedly translated that appetite into practical infrastructure and developer-experience improvements. An early career background spanning games, data analysis, and full-stack work gives him a rare blend of systems thinking and user-focused design.
