Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Parli is a Lead Platform Engineer with 12+ years building and operating large-scale distributed systems across startups and enterprises from DoorDash and Nuro to Visa. He combines deep systems engineering, infrastructure-as-code, and automation expertise with hands-on experience designing datacenter and cloud-native architectures that prioritize reliability and scalability. As a former SRE and staff engineer he has bootstrapped reliability teams, implemented auto-remediation and SQL proxying services, and orchestrated mission-critical vehicle routing for autonomous fleets. Ben’s background spans networking, hybrid cloud migrations, and demand/capacity planning, giving him a rare mix of low-level infrastructure know-how and product-focused delivery skills. Based in San Francisco, he pairs academic rigor—master’s-level training in computer science and technology management—with practical operational instincts honed in roles from the US Navy to high-growth tech. He’s equally comfortable leading cross-functional teams or digging into the automation that keeps complex systems running.
