Senior🎓
Top SchoolSadik Ay is an Engineering Manager based in New York with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating web and backend systems, primarily in Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. He moved from senior engineering and lead roles into management at Gusto after RemoteTeam.com was acquired, blending team leadership with deep technical ownership of APIs, serverless functions, and DevOps. His background spans startups and scale-ups where he delivered subscription SaaS, marketplaces, and AR backend services, often taking on deployment and infrastructure responsibilities alongside feature development. Known for shipping reliable GraphQL and RESTful services backed by PostgreSQL, Redis, and background processing (Sidekiq), he also has significant experience with CI/CD and containerized deployments. Colleagues value him for translating product requirements into pragmatic, production-ready designs while mentoring engineers through growth and operational maturity. He pairs an engineering manager’s strategic perspective with the practical instincts of a longtime backend developer, often stepping into hands-on coding when complexity demands it.
