Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Nadler is a seasoned software engineering leader based in Portland with two decades of experience designing and shipping high-throughput, cost-conscious systems for Observability, IoT, and large-scale analytics. Currently leading Platform Engineering at Lambda, he manages 20+ engineers across multi-team platforms that unify Kubernetes, managed databases, messaging, caching, observability, and GitHub Actions/Buildkite CI to accelerate delivery and reliability. He has deep hands-on expertise in streaming and batch data pipelines, time-series and NoSQL stores, Go/Scala/Java, and has built production observability at cloud scale (centralized logging >7B events/day, tracing >50B events/day). Jeff is equally comfortable architecting greenfield analytics, founding observability teams, and coaching engineering managers while managing multi-million-dollar vendor relationships. Not obvious from his title: he has repeatedly optimized for low-cost, high-resolution telemetry by favoring scalable open-source primitives and even authored a Go streaming framework (firebolt) to simplify Kafka processing.
