Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorge Murray is a Senior Platform Engineer based in Seattle with 11 years of experience building scalable backend systems and developer-facing SDKs. He has driven production-grade, low-latency platforms at Indeed—architecting a real-time candidate sourcing pipeline that processed thousands of events per second and dramatically increased application quality—and later rebuilt Python SDKs and platform tooling at Benchling and Steamship. At Summation he focuses on automating P&L and QBR reporting, blending platform reliability with business-facing analytics. An active open-source contributor, he has improved core A/B testing infrastructure (Indeed’s proctor) and enhanced tooling for niche projects like DFHack, demonstrating comfort across Java, Python, and systems-level code. He pairs deep systems debugging (finding thread leaks and concurrency bugs in large shared libraries) with mentoring and cross-functional leadership, and has a long Seattle tech presence dating back to 2007.
