Anthony Scalisi
Director Of DevOps at Northern Labs
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarAnthony Scalisi is a Director of DevOps based in San Francisco with 14 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure for startups and large enterprises. He has led platform and core engineering teams to migrate legacy systems to AWS, build bespoke PaaS with Nomad/Consul, and implement SRE-driven observability and DevSecOps practices that supported SOC2-level controls. Anthony combines deep hands-on skills—contributions to widely used Chef cookbooks for Docker, AWS, and Consul—with leadership in building hybrid CI/CD and autoscaling platforms at companies like Wonolo and Apple. He’s equally comfortable coding cross-platform system utilities and architecting large-scale migrations, and often brings practical, security-first infrastructure automation (e.g., encrypted EBS, KMS integration, compliance-as-code) to production. An interesting thread through his career is shipping production-grade tooling that bridges legacy on-prem systems and cloud-native patterns, making complex migrations repeatable and auditable.
