Summary
Amir S is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer based in San Francisco with a decade of experience building and operating large-scale, cloud-native systems. He holds an MS in Computer Software Engineering from Oxford and has driven measurable reliability improvements at Meta—cutting incidents from 17 to 2 and slashing MTTD from 29 hours to under an hour. Comfortable across Python and Node.js, Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, and cloud platforms, he has led cross-functional efforts in SLI/SLO definition, observability, and change safety that materially improved developer velocity and production stability. At GoCardless and Cafe Bazaar he delivered zero-downtime upgrades, reduced alert noise by 80%, and architected scalable PAAS offerings for data platforms. Co-author of a SOSP'23 paper on serverless computing, he blends research-grade thinking with hands-on incident leadership and automation-first delivery. He seeks organizations where empowered teams, context-driven leadership, and high alignment with loose coupling are the norm.
