Summary
Sean Sitter is a Principal Architect with 11+ years of experience designing and operating large-scale, security-sensitive cloud platforms and services. Currently leading backend architecture at Box, he drove a downtime-free datacenter migration, designed a Kubernetes-based PaaS and service mesh, and created a zero-trust reference architecture for customer content. His prior roles at Johnson & Johnson include building a 90K RPS Go API gateway, architecting OAuth2/JWT identity systems, and scaling consumer mobile and social platforms to tens of millions of users. Skilled in high-throughput systems, distributed data strategies, and cost-effective cloud migrations, he blends hands-on engineering with enterprise governance as a long-standing member of architecture councils. A mathematician by training from UIUC, he’s as comfortable optimizing sub-millisecond latency as he is setting company-wide open source and architecture standards.
