Craig Sebenik is a Staff SRE based in California with over a decade of experience designing and operating large-scale cloud infrastructure and observability platforms. He specializes in technical leadership roles—running incident management, shepherding infrastructure strategy, and mentoring engineers while leading migrations to trunk-based development and automated deployments. His hands-on background spans AWS, Prometheus/Thanos, Datadog, SaltStack, Terraform and languages like Python, Perl, C and Java, and he has repeatedly led company-wide monitoring and CI/CD transformations. Notably, he combines deep SRE craft with practical finance and vendor-management experience, having built internal data warehouses for developer metrics and led SaaS budgeting efforts. His unusual mix of technical depth and culinary training signals a pragmatic, disciplined approach to complex systems and team-building.
