Top SchoolRajat Arya is a seasoned software engineer and team lead with 14+ years of hands-on experience architecting and shipping large-scale distributed systems across companies like Microsoft, AWS, Apple, Turi, XetHub, and Hugging Face. He combines deep systems expertise (Rust, Go, Python, C++) with a quality-first mindset, having built platforms that managed over 100PB of data and supported production ML workloads at Apple. As a co-founder of XetHub he led product, sales, and GTM efforts while building a new distributed data platform in Rust—experience that bridges engineering and customer-facing strategy. He has repeatedly moved between pure engineering and technical sales roles, making him adept at translating complex technical capabilities into customer value. Based in Seattle, he favors pragmatic, production-ready solutions and still enjoys low-level tinkering (yes, he keeps his .vimrc updated). His career shows a rare combination of large-company scale, startup grit, and cross-functional leadership in data and ML infrastructure.
