Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Smedberg is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years building full-stack, microservice-oriented systems that prioritize functional programming, test-driven development, and measurable business value. He has led projects from real-time Snowflake Direct Share data products to scaling MapReduce/Spark/Druid analytics and migrating heavy workloads to Kubernetes, consistently turning complex data delivery into reliable subscription services. Comfortable across Scala, Java, and cloud-native tooling, he combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership—running projects that replaced manual SQL workstreams with automated Data-as-a-Service onboarding. His background in mathematical logic and a PhD-focused research trajectory gives him a strong analytical lens for system design and debugging, and he frequently bridges gaps between data infrastructure, monitoring UIs, and customer-facing product needs. Based in the Denver area, he excels at shipping pragmatic, production-grade systems that both reduce operational toil and scale to thousands of daily analytical jobs.
