Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Grimes is a Manager of Service Reliability Engineering with nine years of hands-on experience building resilient, cost-efficient cloud platforms and incident-ready teams. Currently leading SRE at DRW after progressive technical leadership roles there, he has a track record migrating complex microservices to Kubernetes, standardizing Helm charts, and consolidating CI/CD to reduce operational friction. He blends deep technical execution—terraform/terragrunt, Prometheus/Grafana, Chaos-inspired gamedays—with coaching, blameless postmortems, and curriculum-style teaching as a Harvard instructor assistant. Comfortable both as a troubleshooting first-responder and a strategic SME, he consistently replaces brittle internal tooling with robust open-source alternatives to lower maintenance burden. Based in Newport City, Vermont, Scott pairs a minimalist approach to life with a penchant for elegant software solutions and practical, measurable reliability improvements.
