Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDoug Sabers is a seasoned engineering leader with 13 years of experience driving large-scale, distributed systems and teams from Minneapolis. He currently manages two globally distributed full-stack teams at Vertex, owning mission-critical tax and compliance services while launching the company’s first public API, modernizing CI/CD, and tripling deployment velocity via Kubernetes and observability standards. Doug has a strong track record in real-time, event-driven architectures—scaling IoT platforms to 150M+ devices at Samsung SmartThings and building a global weather data network at Synoptic using Kafka, MQTT, and serverless tech. He combines hands-on technical depth (Java, Micronaut, Kafka, Kubernetes, React, Datadog) with operational rigor, running follow-the-sun models and maintaining zero attrition through effective contractor-to-FTE ramping. Equally comfortable advising executives and writing code, he’s repeatedly turned legacy monoliths into resilient microservices while cutting costs and time-to-market.
