Senior🎓
Top SchoolChad Jefferies is a Senior Backend Engineer with 10 years of experience building low-latency, scalable data and backend systems from retail point-of-sale networks to cloud-native ingestion pipelines. He has driven technical direction and mentoring at Listrak—leading initiatives like the company’s first Redis production cluster and a cloud-first shift using AWS services—and now applies that expertise at Salad. Chad excels at turning batch processes into event-driven architectures that cut end-to-end latency from hours to seconds and has repeatedly prepared systems for 10x production load. Based in Harrisburg, PA, he brings deep practical knowledge of data infrastructure, distributed systems, and operational reliability across both enterprise retail and SaaS domains. A detail that sets him apart: early-career work at Rite Aid gave him hands-on experience syncing software to thousands of store devices, grounding his cloud work in real-world distributed deployments.
