Senior🎓
Top SchoolSilas Snider is a software engineer with 18 years of experience focused on distributed systems, internal developer velocity, and container orchestration. Currently at Apple, he has deep expertise maintaining and evolving large, long-lived systems and was the primary contributor to an internal container scheduler for several years. His background spans SRE work at Google, senior engineering roles, and early startup and founder experience, giving him a pragmatic blend of scale-first and scrappy problem-solving instincts. He excels at cross-org collaboration, especially where there is friction or strong disagreement, and invests in tools, documentation, and processes that help colleagues and customers alike. Based in San Jose, he combines hands-on systems design with a passion for strengthening the industry through mentorship and durable engineering practices. A less obvious strength is his focus on making developer-facing infrastructure measurable and fast, not just functional.
