Summary
Pablo Fischer is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer based in San Francisco with 22 years of experience building resilient, automated infrastructure for high-traffic services. He has led major reliability and automation initiatives at companies like LinkedIn, Twitter, Box, Imgur and Flickr—designing self-healing platforms, fleet-wide remediation systems (Airflow/Temporal/Golang), and traffic/CDN migrations that materially reduced costs and improved throughput. Pablo’s credo, "If you do it twice, it should be automated," is reflected in platform work that moved manual ops to CI/CD, automated hardware remediation, and eliminated repetitive toil across stateless and stateful services. He blends deep systems programming (Python, Perl, Bash) with pragmatic operational leadership, having driven JDK migrations, global traffic optimizations, and DNS/IaC transformations. Notably, he pairs large-scale engineering with a collaborative style—mentoring teams, owning on-call rotations, and building tools that empower support and SRE peers. Outside work he’s an unabashed cat enthusiast, which he playfully weaves into team culture and communications.
