Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Marx is a principal engineering manager and seasoned software leader with 12 years of experience architecting and scaling high-performance systems across browser, mobile, and cloud platforms. Currently leading Social Products and previously driving GroupMe and video experiences at Microsoft, he blends hands-on engineering with cross-team coordination to deliver large-scale rollouts and product rebrands. He has repeatedly led infrastructure transformations—adopting Terraform, Kubernetes, and orchestrating an AWS-to-Azure migration—to support rapid traffic growth (e.g., a 27x scale-up for Flip) while keeping services stable. A former founder and early-stage engineer, Kevin pairs product-minded thinking with full-stack chops from frontend UI to back-end APIs and video transcoding pipelines. He mentors teams through one-on-ones and office hours, growing headcount from single digits to double-digit teams and institucionalizing delivery practices. Based in Minneapolis, he brings an entrepreneurial sensibility to enterprise-grade cloud engineering and operational resilience.
