Summary
Cyrus Xi is a Senior Software Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years building production-grade infrastructure, data platforms, and backend systems across Meta, Scale AI, Snap, Uber, and Facebook. He specializes in distributed systems for high-scale data and ML workflows — most recently focused on GenAI model serving and inference at Meta after leading infra and platform efforts at Scale AI. His background spans end-to-end data engineering (real-time pipelines, warehousing, ELK, Airflow/FBLearner Flow) and core backend services like geospatial entity resolution and financial forecasting. Cyrus has repeatedly been the sole or lead engineer shipping critical features from prototype to production, including the GBDT creator-classification model at Facebook used across product teams. Known for a pragmatic, source-first approach to engineering ("read the fucking source code"), he blends deep tooling instincts with a track record of making complex systems reliable at scale.
