Can Çilingir is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with two decades of hands-on experience building and operating production infrastructure across startups and large enterprises like LinkedIn and General Motors. He spans the full SRE stack—observability and SLOs, incident response, capacity planning, and infrastructure-as-code—and excels at both embedding with product teams to close reliability gaps and building the platforms those teams depend on. At LinkedIn he drove product-experience monitoring and automated traffic validation to improve availability and reduce operator overhead; at GM he established gated production change reviews and prototyped a unified Grafana observability stack. His background includes founding and scaling multiple platforms, leading infrastructure teams, and shipping high-throughput systems from AWS-based multi-tenant ecommerce to live video services supporting 25k+ concurrent viewers. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he pairs engineering leadership with deep operational craft and a track record of turning ad hoc deployments into auditable, automated fleets.
