Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Kaja is a Principal Site Reliability Engineer with 11+ years of cloud, DevOps, and SRE experience, currently leading reliability efforts for Oracle Health from Minneapolis. He has repeatedly rebuilt and modernized cloud footprints—designing IaC-first architectures in Azure and AWS, driving GitOps adoption, and delivering HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant healthcare platforms. Alex pairs deep curiosity for system internals with pragmatic execution: migrating large-scale data workloads (RDS-to-Snowflake), cutting AWS costs by 25% in a single sprint, and building developer-friendly CDK libraries. He excels at mentoring teams, running cross-functional projects end-to-end, and translating compliance and governance needs into automated, repeatable processes. Colleagues rely on him to untangle complex operational problems and to create self-service developer experiences that scale. His background in economics and early transition from finance analyst to engineer gives him a practical, metrics-driven perspective on prioritization and risk.
