Summary
Anuj Khandelwal is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience designing scalable architectures, databases, and high-throughput API gateways. He has led engineering teams and product initiatives across startups and large platforms—most recently helping build identity, billing, and IAM systems used by millions at GoTo Group and Pixxel before joining Google. His strengths include translating complex product requirements into reliable platforms (e.g., an API gateway handling ~70k RPS and a Zanzibar-inspired relation-based IAM) and owning end-to-end execution from hiring to deployment. Comfortable switching between hands-on coding and technical leadership, he has driven integrations with Stripe, built traffic-efficient gateways, and introduced standardized engineering processes. Based in Bengaluru, he blends product intuition from a Product Manager stint with deep backend expertise, making him effective at both roadmap decisions and low-level system design. A detail that stands out: he’s repeatedly built critical infra (billing, access control, gateway) from scratch rather than incrementally patching legacy systems.
