Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarl Hiltbrunner is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building high-scale cloud infrastructure at Amazon Web Services, currently working on EC2 greenfield projects from Seattle. He has repeatedly led technical efforts across EC2, EKS networking, VPC NAT Gateway, and the Hyperplane platform, delivering public features, release process improvements, and operational automation. Carl blends hands-on systems design and implementation with cross-team coordination—having served as technical lead across multiple teams to enable EC2 Managed Instances and other complex launches. He is skilled at identifying platform pain points and self-starting projects that reduce risk and speed delivery, such as region build automation and expanded integration testing. Trained in computer science and psychology, he brings both technical rigor and attention to human factors in large distributed systems. Outside feature launches he mentors interns and peers, often driving durable process and tooling changes rather than one-off fixes.
