Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Marx is a Senior Principal Software Engineer in San Francisco with 12 years of experience designing and operating large-scale, distributed systems across startups and acquired companies. He moves fluidly between architecture, design, and hands-on implementation, having led migrations, sharding and performance tuning projects for services backed by Kafka, Postgres, Redshift, ElasticSearch and cloud pipelines. At Sift he rebuilt reporting and workload isolation for ML-driven products, and at Expanse (now part of Palo Alto Networks) he continues to drive platform-level engineering and delivery. A pragmatic leader and communicator, he’s comfortable shipping full-stack backends from inception to production and has a track record of successfully splitting monoliths and modernizing legacy infrastructure. Less obvious: his background includes founding and launching a social-good startup and early research work at the MIT Media Lab, showing a blend of product curiosity and research-driven implementation.
