Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Knoebel is a Senior Software Engineer in the NYC area with nine years of experience building high-throughput distributed systems, big data pipelines, and performance-sensitive services. He has driven architecture and implementation at startups and scale-ups—designing Kafka-based event pipelines and Kubernetes deployments at greymatter.io, then leading critical backend financial services and reliability initiatives at Amazon. Now at Meta he focuses on capacity and efficiency using C/C++, Python, and Rust, blending low-level profiling expertise with large-scale system design. Known for simplifying duplication and improving observability (reducing redundant services threefold and achieving 99.9% reliability), he pairs pragmatic engineering with a curiosity for generative AI and performance tuning. An unconventional background in philosophy informs his clear technical communication and thoughtful mentorship of engineering teams.
