Ryan Rueth is a seasoned software engineer and manager with over 16 years of hands-on experience building backend and infrastructure systems, and more than nine years leading teams up to ten people. He combines deep systems-level expertise from early carrier-grade networking at Cisco to architecting and automating modern cloud infrastructure at startups like Brilliant and Brilliant Smart Home. Ryan has repeatedly taken small engineering orgs from prototype to production—designing service architectures, establishing IaC and CI/CD, and launching multi-thousand-device deployments for multifamily smart home. Comfortable in languages from C to asyncio Python, he pairs pragmatic engineering with people leadership: hiring, mentoring, and running sprint-driven delivery. Based in Mountain View, he brings a track record of turning ambiguous product needs into reliable, automated platforms and is equally at home debugging protocol state machines or scaling hundreds of EC2 instances.
