Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Martin is a Principal Infrastructure Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and operating large-scale, cloud-native platforms from engineering tooling to production infrastructure. He blends deep SRE and platform expertise with a pragmatic, iterative approach—building things like fleet-wide chaos testing, global synthetic network probes, and a Kubernetes-deployed blackbox prober to define company-level SLOs and measurable reliability. A proven leader and coach, he has run cross-functional initiatives, managed on-call transformations, and led teams responsible for CI/CD, developer experience, and AWS/EKS operations without moving fully into people management. Daniel is data-driven and curious, often using tracing and bespoke telemetry to uncover hidden performance bottlenecks and reduce incident noise. Based in San Francisco, he’s actively seeking a senior SWE or SRE role focused on infrastructure/platform work where his automation-first mindset can directly improve customer outcomes. An uncommon strength: he pairs product-minded customer impact metrics with low-level engineering (Go, Terraform, tracing) to turn vague reliability goals into actionable, measurable systems.
