Summary
Ali Orouji is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer based in the Netherlands with over a decade of experience building large-scale, production-critical infrastructure. Currently at Booking.com, he specializes in cloud-native systems, Anycast networks, CDN and DNS products, and high-performance edge services designed for millions of users. He has led teams and shaped architecture—designing L7 firewalls, S3 gateways, media transcoding services, and an Anycast footprint using XDP-based L4 offload—to deliver low-latency, quota-aware platforms. A pragmatic engineer-manager who moved from front-end and product roles to founding a game startup, he pairs hands-on systems programming (Golang, OpenResty, Kubernetes CRDs) with OKR-driven team leadership and mentoring. Notably, several of his designs now serve tens of millions of users and sustain thousands of requests per second in production.
