Shawna Monero
Software Engineer In Production Infrastructure Org at Lyft
Redmond, Washington, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShawna Monero is a backend-focused software engineer with five years of experience building developer tooling and production infrastructure at Lyft, where she contributes to the open-source Clutch platform and Lyft’s deploy systems to reduce MTTR and streamline developer workflows. She combines pragmatic “glue” work—willingness to do the boring or unfamiliar—with a strong emphasis on stakeholder impact and team promotion rather than individual heroics. Her contributions to clutch include extending Kubernetes protobufs and coordinating backend and frontend changes, reflecting comfort with distributed systems, Go, and platform integrations. Past internships at Snap, Twilio, and LinkedIn show a track record of shipping revenue-impacting and privacy-compliant systems under tight timelines. Based in Redmond and open to relocating across the U.S., she’s selective about roles (prefers backend engineering over SRE/DevOps and avoids heavy travel or contract work) and values diversity and inclusion initiatives in tech. Not flashy about being a “rockstar,” she instead prioritizes measurable team value and sustainable, inclusive engineering practices.
