Summary
Sakib Jalal is a Site Reliability Engineer with 12 years of experience building and operating large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure for cloud-native services. Currently at MongoDB, he helps run a global multi-cloud DBaaS that manages 100K+ clusters, processes over a billion metrics daily, and replicates tens of billions of writes to backups. Previously he scaled core traffic systems at Meta, giving him deep expertise in distributed systems, observability, and high-throughput platform engineering. A Rutgers CS graduate with a 3.98 GPA, he combines rigorous academic foundations with practical production experience—from re-architecting chatbots into containerized microservices to teaching introductory CS courses. Outside work he’s driven by using technology for positive social impact and, if not debugging systems, would likely be found wishing he was playing D&D.
