Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolSayed Alesawy is a Senior Software Engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in backend systems, distributed architectures, and performance-driven product engineering. He has driven architectural direction and platform initiatives at Instabug—leading APM design, a company-wide monitoring solution, and a backend platform squad that standardized logging, releases, and observability. His work includes migrating large data pipelines (Elasticsearch to ClickHouse), achieving 10x query improvements via pre-aggregation, and cutting ingestion and storage costs dramatically through Kafka buffering and batching. Comfortable moving between hands-on engineering and technical leadership, he’s rewritten performance-critical Ruby paths in Go and reduced time-to-ship for new features by building reusable internal infrastructure. Now at Axiom, he continues to shape reliable, scalable backends with a strong SRE mindset and a track record of turning messy legacy systems into maintainable, high-throughput services. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic architect who balances deep profiling and cost-awareness with product-focused outcomes.
