Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Sawyer is a Principal Software Engineer based in Seattle with 14 years of experience building cloud-native platforms, developer tooling, and secure networking primitives. At F5 he helped launch the company’s first SaaS platform by architecting Kubernetes/AWS infrastructure with Terraform and GitLab CI/CD, wrote multi-region Rust tooling to improve developer productivity, and led efforts that enabled ISO-27001 and SOC2 compliance. He has a strong systems background from earlier roles—saving $1.5M with C++ telemetry systems and modernizing CI/CD and monorepo practices—and brings full‑stack experience from SaaS startups through telecom. Outside of work he pursues landscape photography and applies the same attention to craft and composition to engineering problems, mentoring junior engineers along the way.
