Josh Mcsavaney is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with 13 years of experience building secure, scalable backend systems and managing fleets of hundreds of thousands of endpoints. At Google he streamlined cross-OS packaging and CI/CD to cut release setup from weeks to hours and co-designed a host validation/remediation framework that drives SLIs and self-healing automation. He has led large-scale security and reliability efforts—designing config-as-code governance, enforcing security compliance across 160k+ devices, and coordinating a 100k TLS certificate rotation—while cutting costs and error rates through careful performance tuning. Comfortable in Go, Python, and systems-level work, he combines SRE discipline with software engineering to turn operational pain points into automated, auditable solutions. An early HPC systems admin, he retains a researcher’s pragmatism for profiling and optimizing resource-heavy workloads.
