Sunnyvale, California, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJiawei Wang is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure, specializing in Kubernetes, storage, and network security for Google Distributed Cloud. Based in Sunnyvale, he has driven reliability and test-infrastructure improvements in core Kubernetes projects—contributing e2e tests, CSI mock driver fixes, and sidecar enhancements used broadly across the ecosystem. At Google he moved from Storage-focused engineering into network security and air-gapped distributed cloud deployments, blending backend development with DevOps and release-tooling ownership. His open-source footprint includes meaningful contributions to high-profile repos like kubernetes/kubernetes and kubernetes-csi, where he upgraded libraries, added metrics, and hardened volume attach workflows. He pairs a solid academic foundation from UT Austin with hands-on experience modernizing CI/CD and release processes, and often surfaces subtle stability gains (timeouts, namespace collisions, metric init) that prevent production incidents.
