Senior🎓
Top SchoolOliver Scott is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, production-grade data platforms and backend systems, currently focused on Compass’s listing and geospatial services. He has led cross-team migrations that decomposed a 50TB monolith into microservices, consolidated Kafka clusters to save $100k/year, and engineered data pipelines that serve millions of records with sub-50ms read latencies. Comfortable across Java, Python, Kafka, DynamoDB, S3 and Databricks, he combines hands-on implementation with technical leadership and mentorship—having boosted a teammate’s contributions by 250% in six months. Based in Los Angeles, he pairs a Computer Engineering degree from Northeastern with study at the University of Edinburgh and a pragmatic full-stack background from a fintech acquisition, making him equal parts systems-minded and product-aware.
