Giancarlo Petrini is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience building and scaling high-throughput backend services, currently focused on reducing latency across the stack. At Mediavine he has driven performance optimizations for services handling 100k+ RPS, working across Node/TypeScript, Go, and increasingly Rust, and operating large-scale data layers like Cassandra/Scylla, Redis, Postgres and Kafka. He combines deep systems and infrastructure know-how—CDK/Terraform, AWS, cross-region architectures—with practical DevOps experience in CI/CD and blue/green deployments. Giancarlo mentors junior engineers, leads cross-functional initiatives with product and stakeholders, and has a strong background in ad tech and real-time bidding systems. Outside work he channels his engineering curiosity into automotive and mobility projects, including a public passion project, topcarfinds.com, which reflects his attention to performance and detail. Based in Greensboro, NC, he blends pragmatic production engineering with a continual appetite for learning new languages and approaches, notably Rust.
