Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCaelyn Mcaulay is a product-focused back-end developer with 14 years of experience building robust, data-intensive systems across startups and large tech companies. They have delivered high-impact backend services and GIS APIs using languages including Scala, Python, Java, Kotlin and C++, and have migrated systems from DynamoDB to Postgres/PostGIS for richer spatial querying. Caelyn has led small engineering teams and owned end-to-end projects—from SDKs and microservices to Kafka consumers and data-quality checks—often as the sole backend engineer on critical initiatives. Their work at Google and Vidyard shows a track record of improving reliability and reducing test flakiness and latency, while at Coursera and Cognite they combined hands-on engineering with hiring and program leadership. With an MMath in Computer Science and a BMath in Pure Mathematics & Computer Science from Waterloo, they pair rigorous analytical thinking with practical product instincts. An understated strength is their consistent habit of creating tooling and processes that raise code quality and team effectiveness beyond individual feature delivery.
