Jae Bradley is a Senior Software Engineer based in Boston with 11 years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems across Java, Ruby on Rails, and React ecosystems. He has driven high-impact migrations and performance improvements—most recently replacing Box’s legacy metadata service with a Spring Boot microservice that halved p99 latencies and migrated metadata to Google Cloud Bigtable with zero downtime. Comfortable across the full stack, Jae has meaningful open-source contributions to Open edX (front-end and analytics work) and practical tooling like an Uber-like CLI, demonstrating a taste for shipping user-facing features and utilities. His background includes operating high-throughput data ingestion systems at scale (billions of events daily) and launching internal component libraries that accelerate product teams. Colleagues benefit from his mix of hands-on implementation, observability-first engineering, and a data-oriented approach rooted in an economics and mathematics education. Outside work he signals a collaborative, maker mindset—“Let’s build things together”—and often pairs UI polish with backend robustness.
