Senior🎓
Top SchoolDarius Kish is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with seven years of experience specializing in databases, query processing, and large-scale data platforms. He has led a 12-engineer Query Processing team at Ocient and worked on Unistore query processing at Snowflake before joining Rippling to focus on data platform engineering. His background blends academic research—developing replicated multi-writer KV stores and storage/indexing for 3D molecular data during a Harvard PhD—with hands-on production systems at petabyte scale. Known for mentoring across levels and setting technical strategy, he brings both deep systems design expertise and practical execution to high-throughput data problems. An unconventional thread through his career is combining systems research with applied product work, enabling robust, research-informed engineering decisions.
