Satender Saroha is a senior engineering manager with over 20 years of experience building ML infrastructure, video streaming, payments and mobile systems, and more than a decade of people leadership. He most recently led AI infra teams at Meta to build end-to-end ML pipelines and AutoML with deep observability, accelerating experiments-to-production at scale, and now leads engineering at Databricks. Previously he built production-grade speaker recognition for Alexa enabling on-device and cloud personalization, and architected large-scale video analytics and monetization platforms that supported high-profile live events. He blends low-level systems and C++ roots with modern ML platform thinking, proven by early front-end contributions to Mozilla’s Gaia SMS UI and a track record of shipping cross-platform mobile and backend services. Comfortable hiring and growing senior technical leaders, he focuses on measurable outcomes: faster iteration loops, reduced latency, and explainable model behavior in production.
