Top SchoolMarek Kaput is a Staff Software Engineer based in Krakow with 11 years of experience building developer tools, compilers, language servers, AI agent systems, and distributed backend and media platforms. He specializes in Rust and Elixir, driving both individual contributions and multi-team efforts—from authoring an "Agentic Engineering Guide" and shipping agent-driven products to leading teams of up to 15 engineers. Marek played a key role in the Cairo compiler and StarkNet tooling, co-architecting a Salsa-based compiler, creating Scarb and a Cairo language server, and helping Starkware’s move to Rust that yielded a 10× block finality improvement. Comfortable as IC, tech lead, and manager, he blends low-level compiler diagnostics and tooling work with pragmatic system design for production distributed systems. An active open-source contributor, he brings a rare mix of compiler internals expertise and operational leadership to developer-facing infrastructure.
