Summary
Jonah Eisen is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 10 years of experience building high-throughput, production-grade systems across startups and large companies. He has deep hands-on experience in distributed systems, stream processing, and security tooling—shipping low-latency RTB infrastructure at Quantcast, security and static analysis platforms at Splunk, and an open-source SQL-on-streams engine at Arroyo (YC W23). Comfortable across languages and stacks (Rust, Go, Python, TypeScript/React, Postgres, Kubernetes, AWS), he blends backend systems design with polished developer-facing consoles and APIs. Currently at Galileo, Jonah focuses on scalable data and developer tooling while bringing practical security-minded engineering to product-facing projects. He pairs a computing honours degree from Queen’s with a background in team leadership and creative roles (photography and editorial design), suggesting a knack for both technical craft and user-focused presentation. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who ships robust solutions and enjoys tackling the intersection of performance, observability, and developer experience.
