Summary
Brian Talley is a Staff Infrastructure Engineer based in Denver with 12 years of experience building and automating large-scale IaaS and container platforms. He combines deep networking expertise (BGP, VXLAN, GRE) from roles at Photobucket and F5 with cloud-native tooling—Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible and CI/CD pipelines—to deliver reliable, automated infrastructure at dbt Labs. He’s comfortable across public cloud and private datacenter stacks (AWS, OpenStack, MAAS/Foreman) and has repeatedly bridged networking and software practices to improve observability and deployment velocity. Known for taking ownership of both architecture and operational runbooks, he often surfaces non-obvious efficiencies by treating network topology as code.
