Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Gruse is a software development engineer with 10 years of experience designing and shipping full-stack, cloud-native systems, currently building large-scale supply chain optimization at Amazon. He has driven end-to-end projects from forecasting models that inform purchasing for 50,000+ SKUs to migrating data platforms to S3, yielding $1M in annual savings and 90% storage time reduction. Comfortable in high-ambiguity environments, he re-architected legacy services into serverless, event-driven pipelines that enabled 10× growth through automatic scaling while mentoring and leading small engineering teams. Equally focused on engineering craft and team development, he enjoys translating complex technical problems for non-technical stakeholders and coaching junior engineers to ramp quickly. Based in Seattle, he pairs a practical startup mindset with deep AWS and system-design experience, and often prioritizes usability and knowledge-sharing as much as technical elegance.
