Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJosh Wolfe is a Senior Staff Software Engineer in New York with 17 years of experience building backend systems, compilers, infrastructure tooling, and games, now transitioning into teaching to mentor the next generation of developers. At Match Group he co-architected a modern microservices backend, led a cloud migration of 250+ services, and optimized Kafka and Kubernetes deployments to cut costs and improve autoscaling for high-traffic dating products. He has deep compiler and language experience—contributing to the Zig compiler and to ECMAScript conformance tests in Test262—and has implemented language features and internationalization work in V8/Chromium. Josh combines systems-level pragmatism (hybrid on-prem/cloud designs, Redis mirroring, geolocation services) with hands-on automation and developer tooling that reduced refactor risk across dozens of repos. As a volunteer teaching assistant he’s already begun applying his technical depth to instruction, making him equally comfortable shipping production systems and explaining complex concepts to learners.
