Rahul Jain is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years’ experience building scalable systems and shipping high-impact features across cloud platforms and desktop applications. He has moved between deep systems work—rewriting parts of Google Search and owning Task Infrastructure and KV-store features at VMware—and user-facing real-time collaboration at Microsoft where his Fluid Framework contributions improved performance significantly. Rahul is comfortable across the stack (C++, NodeJS, distributed systems, AWS/Azure) and often plays the role of roadblock remover and design coach, guiding teams through ambiguous problems to robust, documented solutions. An active open-source contributor, he has added algorithmic implementations and reliability improvements to well-known projects like TheAlgorithms/JavaScript and enhanced backend routing and security in CDAP. Based in Delhi, he combines hands-on debugging (including fixing multi-year bugs) with architecture-level thinking and a track record of mentoring, hiring, and running engineering bootcamps.
