Summary
Andrew Roth is a Staff Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 12 years of experience building backend systems and infrastructure, currently driving technical work at Indeed. He progressed through multiple engineering levels at Indeed since 2015, blending product-facing services with platform-level reliability and performance improvements. Proficient in Python, C/C++, and PHP, he has hands-on experience implementing search and indexing solutions dating back to an intern project at Facebook that used ElasticSearch atop a custom Hadoop scheduler. Andrew pairs a CS degree from UIUC with production experience across web, data, and search domains, and is comfortable moving between legacy codebases and modern scalable architectures. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic engineer who favors measurable impact and durable systems over premature optimization. Despite a résumé heavy on backend work, he brings an early history of front-end and integration tasks (SharePoint, Google Charts) that informs a full-stack sensibility.
