Mark Reitblatt is a senior software engineer and former engineering manager with 14 years of experience building resilient backend systems and crisis-response products at Meta. He was a founding tech lead on Meta’s Civic Integrity team, where he designed the Election War Room and tooling to handle novel, high-pressure incidents, and earlier worked on low-cost networking for under-connected regions via Express Wi‑Fi. Comfortable both shipping code and leading teams, he returned to an individual contributor role in 2024 while continuing to solve hard, systems-level problems at scale. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Cornell and dual BS degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science from UT Austin, reflecting a strong theoretical foundation that informs practical engineering choices. Less obvious: he thrives on “building better firefighting equipment” — turning crisis experience into repeatable infrastructure and playbooks that prevent future emergencies.
