Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJay Patel is a Staff Software Engineer with 11+ years building high-throughput, mission-critical platforms across Meta, Amazon, and enterprise SaaS. At WhatsApp he helped architect the Cloud API onboarding and public test-number flow that reduced developer onboarding from months to minutes, and at Amazon he drove search cell-architecture changes to achieve linear scalability and fault isolation for Amazon Music. He brings deep backend systems experience—distributed search, API design, scalability, and production reliability—plus hands-on performance tuning and asynchronous processing. Comfortable owning core services and on-call SLAs, he has led cross-team launches like Amazon Music HD and refined ML-backed search experiments. A strong academic performer (BS CS with ~3.9 GPA) who mentors and improves developer workflows, he pairs practical engineering with a knack for simplifying complex operational processes. Based in Pflugerville, Texas, he blends large-company scale experience with a focus on developer experience improvements that aren’t immediately visible in product UI.
