Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Auty is a Staff DevOps/SRE and platform engineering leader with 15 years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD, and data platforms for startups and regulated environments. He combines hands-on engineering—migrating services to Kubernetes, centralizing Terraform/IaC, and designing low-downtime DB cutovers—with people leadership that prioritizes autonomy and strong retention across small SRE and data teams. Joe has led complex migrations (ECS→EKS, multi-region Aurora), patched and extended open-source tooling like Debezium for production reliability, and authored an open-source ETL/replication system with an integrated privacy layer. Comfortable across AWS and GCP, he also brings product and founder experience from multiple startups and a knack for pragmatic teaching, from containerizing local dev workflows to architecting privacy-aware test data pipelines. Unusually for an engineering leader, he’s also a Canadian jazz trumpet player, reflecting a creative side that complements his technical rigor.
