Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Bourget is a seasoned infrastructure and platform engineering leader with 14 years of experience building systems that scale for high-growth tech companies. He led platform engineering at Square, hiring and managing 100+ engineers and owning core services across the SDLC, and later helped scale Marqeta as VP of Engineering, Infrastructure. Earlier roles at LinkedIn and Yahoo sharpened his SRE and large-scale service engineering chops, including disaster recovery, operational rigor, and revenue-critical serving systems. Based in Greater Boston, he blends hands-on systems expertise (from ISP-era Linux ops to datacenter and service mesh concerns) with pragmatic leadership that creates sustainable processes and engineering culture. Currently applying those scaling instincts at home as a full-time dad, he brings the same focus on reliability, hiring, and mentorship to helping children “scale.” Not obvious from titles: his career roots include building resilient mail and RADIUS infrastructure and customer-facing UIs at ISPs, showing a long-standing knack for end-to-end systems design.
