Punit Rathore is a founder and seasoned engineering leader with 13 years of experience building low-latency, scalable distributed systems and leading teams from early-stage startups to hyper-growth products. He specializes in functional programming (Clojure, Haskell) and has a proven record shipping high-throughput platforms—designing a sub-10ms A/B testing system serving billions of requests and building Reddit’s notifications pipeline that drove major gains in retention and engagement. Comfortable wearing product and technical hats, he has grown teams from single digits to 20+ engineers while owning roadmap, hiring, and mentoring. A polyglot full-stack practitioner, he blends systems thinking, profiling expertise, and pragmatic product instincts to turn complex data-driven problems into reliable production services. Based in San Francisco, he now applies that mix of hands-on engineering and leadership to a stealth AI startup.
