Iris Mcleary is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with seven years of experience building and hardening distributed backend systems, currently focused at Baton after recent work on integrations at Observe. She specializes in reliability, availability, and deep backend code—designing interfaces, enforcing error contracts, and solving unusual availability puzzles across ingestion, storage, and query stacks. At Mixpanel she improved a custom distributed database, reduced on-call incidents dramatically, and led efforts to make alerts and error semantics more actionable. Earlier at Pure Storage she founded a Hardware Resiliency team and tackled enterprise fault tolerance and customer escalations end-to-end. A UC Berkeley CS graduate who began her career in educational outreach, she brings a rare blend of hands-on system engineering and a long-standing commitment to inclusion, having led disability and LGBTQIA+ ERGs. Colleagues rely on her for historical system knowledge, mentorship, and pragmatic solutions that bridge product, sales, and operations.
