Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Serbent is a software engineer with 3.5 years building production infrastructure for Microsoft Azure AI Search and eight years of overall engineering experience, now based in Austin. He specializes in API design, developer tooling, and scalable distributed systems, having architected changes to support 1M+ indexes per service instance and migrated API specs to TypeSpec to enable automated SDK generation. At Microsoft he defined API release processes, introduced testing and monitoring that shifted bug detection from post-release to pre-merge, and built monitors that caught a dozen regressions missed by tests. Comfortable across the stack (C#, .NET, Python, Go, Docker, Kubernetes), he focuses on infrastructure work that multiplies team effectiveness and reduces manual toil. Recently transitioned out of Microsoft, he’s exploring backend, API, and developer tooling roles where he can take broader ownership and drive business impact. Outside of work he records and produces music, a hobby that mirrors his approach to engineering: meticulous, creative, and detail-oriented.
