Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Snyatkov is a Senior SDE with 12+ years building and operating large-scale distributed systems, currently focused on real-time video streaming, infrastructure-as-code, and AI-assisted development. He has repeatedly shipped production real-time backbones at companies like Twitch and AWS (notably contributing serverless demos and integrations for the Amazon Chime SDK and IVS Realtime), and is fluent in Go, WebRTC, TypeScript, CDN and SDK/API design. Equally comfortable in multithreaded C++ and high-level cloud architectures, he blends pragmatic, clean-code engineering with a product-first mindset that prioritizes shippable, observable systems. His background spans low-level kernel drivers to control/data plane analytics and high-throughput backends (Mixpanel-scale write engines), giving him rare end-to-end operational insight. A pragmatic risk-taker on GenAI tooling—he leverages AI to accelerate development while retaining strict responsibility for what he merges. Based in Greater Boston, he pairs deep systems craftsmanship with hands-on delivery experience across startups and hyperscale services.
