👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Meddin is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years' experience building cloud-native, service-oriented infrastructure at scale, currently working on compute infrastructure control planes at Airbnb. He specializes in multi-cloud platforms, Kubernetes, high-performance Go services, and cost-optimizing large-scale systems—at Tanium he engineered a petabyte-scale CDN and a gRPC deduplication service that cut egress and saved millions annually. Comfortable across Go, Java, TypeScript, Terraform and CI/CD toolchains, he has repeatedly migrated monolithic workloads to scalable Kubernetes architectures and enabled teams to self-serve infrastructure via operators and Pulumi. Based in Los Angeles, Alex combines systems engineering and networking depth with a pragmatic DevOps mindset and a knack for uncovering hidden cost and performance wins. An interesting, less-obvious strength: he pairs platform-level innovation with hands-on optimizations that unlock new customer segments and measurable ARR growth.
