Summary
Rajit Shah is a Staff Production Engineer with 10+ years building and operating production platforms for security-critical products, most recently steering platform reliability through two acquisitions from Venafi to CyberArk to Palo Alto Networks. He designs and runs multi-cloud Kubernetes cell architectures across AWS and GCP, drives Terraform via Terragrunt, and shortens code-to-prod with GitLab CI while owning developer productivity and observability. Rajit’s domain focus is machine identity, certificate lifecycle, secrets, and cloud security at scale, and he has measurable wins like 30% multi-region uptime improvement and significant monitoring cost reductions. On incident response rotations he serves as incident commander, and he’s actively building internal AI tooling—an AI code review bot, Jira→MR automation, and AI cost tracking—to make platform teams faster and cheaper. Based in Dallas, he combines deep hands-on ops chops with a knack for pragmatic automation and M&A platform integration war stories.
