Summary
Junseok Lee is a seasoned backend developer with 11 years of experience building and operating high-throughput, scalable services for B2B SaaS and consumer platforms. He has driven backend architecture and feature delivery at scale—supporting tens of millions of MAU at ZEPETO and handling 70M monthly requests and multi-million message campaigns at Channel.io—using Java, DynamoDB, Kafka/Kinesis patterns, and AWS tooling. Comfortable leading small engineering teams, he has shipped production systems from delayed-queue pipelines to DKIM email integrations and bulk-processing APIs while also doing hands-on migrations of hundreds of millions of items with minimal downtime. Now at TikTok’s Platform team, he focuses on server architecture and platform reliability, valuing candid cross-functional communication and rapid user-feedback cycles. Outside work he documents engineering experiments and learnings on his blog and GitHub, reflecting a practical interest in reproducible, production-ready engineering rather than academic proofs.
