Summary
Nick Stein is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building reliable, data-driven systems and leading teams through complex engineering challenges. He has delivered production-critical infrastructure from real-time transit prediction services in Elixir at the MBTA to high-throughput email and Kafka/Redshift pipelines on Kubernetes. Comfortable both leading teams and shipping code, he’s driven migrations and automation projects—converting a Makefile GTFS pipeline to Dagster, moving clusters to EKS, and modernizing CI across hundreds of repos. Based in Arlington, MA, he combines hands-on ops experience (Terraform, Nagios, Loki, Ansible) with a talent for turning intricate domain constraints into maintainable solutions and mentoring engineering teams. An empathetic leader, he’s known for tackling escalation points and building tooling that makes billing, tracking, and deploys less painful for others.
