Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Mcgrath is an infrastructure-focused engineering leader based in the San Francisco Bay Area with eight years of experience building cloud-native, distributed systems. Currently leading Infrastructure at Baseten, he has a strong track record delivering production reliability—at Netskope he designed an observability platform that drove outages from monthly to zero and introduced company-wide RCA practices. He brings hands-on expertise in Kubernetes migrations, CI/CD pipeline-as-code with Spinnaker, Kafka-driven event architectures, and low-level tooling such as Docker entrypoints for graceful restarts and core-dump analysis. As a founder and former CEO of Pillar, he scaled teams, sales pipelines, and marketing growth while architecting the startup’s core event-driven infra. His background includes blockchain and GPGPU research, plus early-stage product builds at startups (Ring, Nubeva) that required deep systems integration and secure networking. Known for pairing operational rigor with entrepreneurial instincts, he’s actively hiring and open to conversations about growing reliable infrastructure teams.
