Matthew Varley is a Principal Software Engineer in Seattle with 13 years of experience building large-scale, highly reliable back-end systems and cloud services that support hundreds of millions of users and drive significant revenue. He specializes in real-time processing, telephony/PSTN systems, service-oriented architectures, and high-throughput data migrations—having led migrations of billions of conference records with zero customer-impact. At Microsoft he re-architected critical Audio Conferencing services to cut deployment and test times dramatically, reduce compute by nearly 90%, and cut incidents by over half, while enabling rapid cross-team adoption. Known for doing things “the right way,” he focuses on long-term maintainable infrastructure and has an unusual affinity for build systems and engineering tooling. He’s selective about roles—preferring Seattle-based, ethically aligned work—and describes his craft succinctly on GitHub as “I make telephones ring.”
