Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Juarez is a Lead Site Reliability Engineer with 16 years of experience building and operating resilient, cost-conscious infrastructure across startups and mid-size companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has repeatedly led SRE and infrastructure transformations—from founding SRE practices and migrating monolithic incident response to service-owner rotations to breaking apart Terraform workspaces and deploying Kubernetes clusters to drive reliability and reduce MTTR. His pragmatic, data-driven approach emphasizes right-sized solutions, observability, and automation—examples include a Kubernetes operator to scale down GKE clusters for cost savings and an interactive Slackbot to streamline incident response. Michael pairs hands-on delivery (bare-metal provisioning, CI/CD, Prometheus/ELK, Varnish caching) with compliance and process work that earned SOC-2 maturity at prior employers. He is comfortable shifting between tactical engineering and strategic infrastructure decisions, and early-career work founding a streaming tools company shows long-standing product curiosity and systems-level thinking.
