Summary
Bennett Novak is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in developer enablement, deployment automation, and infrastructure-as-code across public cloud and Kubernetes environments. He has a proven track record of turning multi-week provisioning and rollout processes into self-service workflows that complete in hours—most notably reducing PoP provisioning from six weeks to four hours and onboarding times from a week to a day. At Fox Robotics he led cross-discipline teams to improve deployment success rates and implemented ISO27001 controls, Ansible Automation Mesh, and reduced-trust IAM to harden security across cloud, corporate, and IoT fleets. Comfortable both leading initiatives and shipping tooling, he blends hands-on engineering (Python, Ansible, Terraform) with operational leadership and sprint planning. Based in Austin, he thrives in diverse, blameless cultures and takes particular satisfaction in freeing engineers to focus on product rather than infrastructure.
