Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Siegman is a Senior Platform Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructures, currently leading platform teams at SpotOn. He specializes in AWS, Kubernetes, GitOps, and Infrastructure as Code, having migrated legacy monoliths to Kubernetes and built PCI-compliant, production-grade platforms that run 100+ services. Alex thrives in startup environments where iterative design and resource-constrained optimization are routine, and he has a track record of coordinating distributed teams across countries and time zones. A hands-on leader and mentor, he pairs systems-level troubleshooting (from networking and VMware to Linux and automation) with people coaching, performance reviews, and hiring. Outside of tech he’s an avid aviator with an Instrument Rating working toward CFI, bringing a discipline for safety and procedural thinking into how he runs platforms. That combination of operational rigor, coaching instinct, and real-world avionics experience informs his pragmatic approach to resilient, cost-effective infrastructure.
