Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Wolffe is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput distributed systems and operational tooling, currently leading Operating System Infrastructure work at Databricks. He has deep hands-on experience designing service-oriented architectures and realtime platforms at LinkedIn that scaled to thousands of requests per second across multiple data centers. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs API and data-model design with offline/nearline processing experience (Samza, Pig, Hive) and a strong operational focus on monitoring, instrumentation, and production readiness. A member of LinkedIn’s Data Model Review Committee and an author of service-creation guides, he emphasizes simple, working systems inspired by John Gall’s systems design credo. Based in Seattle, he’s a voracious reader who treats continual learning as his top priority and brings that curiosity to mentoring and cross-team collaboration. Notably, his background spans both academic research in networking at UC Berkeley and large-scale production engineering, giving him a rare blend of theory-informed pragmatism.
