Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Cohen is a Technical Fellow and seasoned software leader with 13+ years designing and operating large-scale, event-driven systems using Kafka, Cassandra, MySQL and Java. Based in Austin, he combines hands-on architecture and design with engineering management at Indeed, guiding platform-level decisions while still shipping code. His background spans building high-throughput ingestion and routing pipelines—previously handling half a billion social content items weekly—and modernizing legacy products into cloud- and mobile-first architectures. Known for pragmatic delivery, he has driven feature flagging, language-detection for short-form content, and event-based auditing models that improved reliability and observability. Equally comfortable at the JVM level and in operational concerns, he focuses on scalable, maintainable systems that enable faster product iteration.
