Staff Engineer at Squiz
Victoria, Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Schoen is a Staff Engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience modernising and maintaining large, legacy web platforms, primarily at Squiz where he progressed from systems administration to technical leadership. He combines deep practical knowledge of PHP, containerisation (from early LXC days), and complex upgrade automation with a strong security mindset—having identified and remediated numerous high-severity issues and held government security clearance. David excels at untangling monoliths, accelerating delivery (CI improvements from 30 hours to 30 minutes), and bringing reproducible local development via Docker to legacy stacks. Comfortable operating across infrastructure, SRE and application layers, he pairs client-facing curiosity with an engineer’s penchant for solving problems others have already struggled with. He’s quietly interested in applying his skills to energy efficiency and electrical demand-management analytics, where his domain curiosity and automation experience would translate well.
