Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaxfield Stewart is a director-level software engineering leader with nearly 20 years of experience building and operating large-scale game and production systems, currently shaping Riot Games’ Live and Game Operations into a multi-game, SRE-driven organization. He combines deep hands-on expertise in game server architecture, continuous delivery, observability, and DevOps tooling (Docker, Jenkins, Python, Go, C#) with a proven track record of cultural and technical transformations that reduced monitoring costs and standardized metrics across hundreds of engineers. He led a multi-year observability consolidation at Riot that delivered millions in recurring savings without impacting production visibility, and has grown teams from dozens to over a hundred while managing multi-million-dollar budgets. Known for establishing blame-free incident culture and robust post-mortem practices, he also authors practical DevOps tutorials (Jenkins + Docker) to share operational knowledge. Based in Santa Monica, he prefers senior leadership roles where he can scale engineering craft, continuous delivery, and reliability practices across organizations.
