Jay Pathak
India
Summary
Jay Pathak is a Senior Software Engineer with six years of experience building high-performance, secure API gateways and backend systems, most recently contributing to Shopify after a key role at Razorpay. He was a core contributor and architect on Razorpay’s Edge v2 API gateway and Dataplane, designing critical plugins like rate limiters and authz enforcers and migrating datastores from Cassandra to Postgres with zero downtime. Jay has a track record of improving reliability and latency—e.g., a 60% plugin latency improvement via Redis optimizations—and boosting test coverage from 37% to 92% by creating a custom unit testing framework. His toolkit spans distributed systems, API security, Postgres, Redis, CI/CD and cloud deployments, with experience onboarding services and mentoring junior engineers. Based in Bengaluru, he combines hands-on implementation with architecture and team enablement, and actively seeks collaborations that push production systems toward greater scale and safety. An often-overlooked strength is his ability to translate operational pain points into durable platform improvements that reduce recurring incidents.
