Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacek Gałązka is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience and a deep focus on C++, compilers, and high-performance distributed systems. He built and led the SQL query planner for a distributed database, applying multithreading, SIMD and memory-focused optimizations to squeeze out performance at Oxla, and now contributes at Redpanda Data. His compiler pedigree comes from several years at Intel developing LLVM-based OpenCL GPU compilers and contributing maintenance-quality fixes and features, and he’s also made kernel-level contributions to the Linux tree around Intel VPU driver logging and hardware scheduler support. Trained in telecom-specialized computer science, he pairs low-level systems understanding with distributed algorithms and protocol design. A relentless learner, he studies finance, physics and security in his spare time and moonlights as a live audio engineer—details that reflect both analytical depth and real-world tinkering. He values knowledge sharing and delivering satisfaction through high-quality, well-engineered software.
