Summary
Eden Zik is a systems-focused software engineer with 12 years of experience building resilient distributed infrastructure, currently working on metadata and cloud storage systems at Facebook after impactful work at Vertica. They designed and shipped features such as a distributed asynchronous metadata sync for database hibernation, an S3 storage driver, and a patented garbage-collection mechanism for shared storage, all tuned for cloud failure modes like spot instance termination. Eden also drove developer productivity improvements—creating a container-on-demand environment used by over 90% of the engineering org—and led automation of integration test reporting to shorten failure lifetimes. Comfortable across storage, CI/CD, and reliability work, they combine rigorous unit-testing and data-driven optimization to deliver durable systems with minimal runtime impact. Based in Menlo Park and a Brandeis CS magna cum laude, Eden brings a blend of hands-on implementation and system-level design that surfaces practical, behind-the-scenes reliability gains.
