Orr Sella is a software engineer with 13 years of experience building developer infrastructure, distributed systems, and highly available back-end services, currently working on developer tools at Meta in San Francisco. He combines a strong TDD discipline with practical expertise in RPC frameworks, cluster schedulers, and build/deployment tooling—evidenced by notable contributions to Facebook’s Buck remote execution APIs and Android UI framework Litho. Orr’s background spans startups and scale-ups, from founding a product company to backend roles at Wix and long-running infrastructure work at Meta, giving him both product instincts and deep systems chops. He holds a BSc in Physics & Economics from Tel Aviv University and brings an uncommon blend of low-level protocol work and UI engineering across open-source projects.
