Senior🎓
Top SchoolIra Snyder is a Senior DevOps/Site Reliability Engineer with 21 years of experience building and operating global-scale cloud and Linux infrastructure. He blends hands-on software development—from low-level bootloader and kernel work to cloud-native systems—with day-to-day SRE practice, including Kubernetes, Terraform, Istio, Prometheus, and AWS/GCP operations. Ira has supported always-on, distributed systems for scientific and commercial organizations (telescopes to geospatial APIs), often as a small-team engineer responsible for end-to-end reliability and automation. A passionate open-source contributor, his background spans U-Boot and Linux kernel work up through Kubernetes ecosystem projects, and he enjoys collaborating with developer communities. Based in Colorado Springs, he pairs deep technical breadth with a pragmatic focus on tooling and observability, and outside work he recharges hiking, fishing, and exploring the mountains.
