Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Merrill is a seasoned site reliability and engineering leader with 20 years of IT experience, currently a Senior SRE at Jack Henry after managing an 8-person platform team at eFuse. He combines deep Linux and cloud expertise—especially AWS EKS, Terraform, Cloudflare, Datadog and Okta—with a pragmatic automation-first approach that favors supportable abstractions over needless complexity. Scott has a strong history of scaling production systems from startups to enterprise environments, including Puppet-driven fleet automation and multi-platform provisioning across VMware and mainframes. He’s as comfortable translating technical complexity for non-technical stakeholders as he is diving into infrastructure code, and has long been active in the open source and Linux communities. A philosophy BA by training, he brings a thoughtful, systems-oriented mindset to reliability, security, and operational excellence.
