Top SchoolCory Lee is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer in Boston with 11 years building resilient, cloud-native platforms and leading SRE teams at scale. He blends hands-on DevOps and software engineering—AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Python, and C#—with operational leadership, having coordinated multi-team migrations, standardized SLO/SLI practices, and runbooks for large-scale decommissions. At edX he drove containerization, EKS deployments, and zero-downtime migrations while contributing backend fixes and deployment tooling to the widely used Open edX platform. At Indeed he standardized operational dashboards, supported thousands of services in a global follow-the-sun on-call model, and helped design multi-datacenter edge deployments to minimize latency. He’s comfortable moving between code, infrastructure, and process, and has a track record of turning manual operational pain points into automated, repeatable systems.
