Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Carroux is a Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years in tech and four years focused on scaling Meta’s global video infrastructure for Facebook and Instagram, currently driving reliability at Redfin. He combines deep operational experience—owning on-call rotations, incident response, and SLO-driven tradeoffs—with hands-on systems engineering to deploy geographic redundancy and low-latency video services at massive scale. Chris has practical experience integrating cutting-edge encoding hardware and vendor firmware into production pipelines, and he helped pilot an ASIC-based encoder to accelerate streaming performance. Early work on Yelp’s open PaaSTA platform and contributions to its Marathon tooling reflect a strong background in containerized microservices, deployment automation, and test stability improvements. Based in Seattle, he favors pragmatic improvements that reduce alert fatigue and improve developer experience while balancing capacity and product needs.
