Sebastien Plisson
Summary
👤
SeniorSebastien Plisson is a Staff DevOps Engineer based in Seattle with 11 years of experience building scalable, observable cloud platforms and improving software delivery performance. He has driven measurable outcomes—speeding deployments by 20%, cutting MTTR through observability practices, and increasing delivery velocity by up to 8x—by modernizing infrastructure (EC2→ECS), championing Terraform and IaC, and automating CI/CD. His background spans HPC on Kubernetes for AWS/Azure, architecting high-throughput platforms, and hands-on ops work like managing Elasticsearch clusters and securing Kibana/Cerebro with SSL-aware probes. A DORA enthusiast, he combines data-driven delivery improvements with practical engineering, including experimental use of AI to generate infrastructure automation tools. Trained as a computer scientist at INSA Lyon and with roots in product-driven engineering, he blends deep systems expertise with product sensibility and an appetite for pragmatic innovation. An often-overlooked strength is his cross-discipline fluency—from driving low-level deployment mechanics to coaching backend teams on infrastructure as code.
