Israel
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBen-ami Zilber is a Principal Software Engineer with 17 years of experience, currently shaping next-generation cluster architecture at Redis from Israel. He has deep expertise in high-throughput, low-latency proxy systems and distributed data platforms, having progressed through engineering and leadership roles on Redis’ proxy and cluster teams since 2016. Prior to Redis he led teams developing real-time, mission-critical embedded systems in the Israeli Air Force, bringing rigorous C++ systems engineering and operational discipline to large-scale backend design. Ben-ami blends hands-on implementation with team leadership, moving from individual contributor to principal-level architect while still shipping core components. He combines academic training from Technion in computer engineering with a proven track record of stabilizing and scaling production systems under real-world constraints. Less obvious but valuable: his embedded-systems background informs a pragmatic, performance-first approach to distributed software problems.
