Senior🎓
Top SchoolSlava Markeyev is an L6 Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and scaling distributed systems, currently leading efforts to improve Nextdoor’s core data store scalability. He excels across the stack—from debugging TCP and Go performance to designing realtime streaming transforms, Redis connection pooling, and PostgreSQL logical replication tools (including Nextdoor’s pg-bifrost). Comfortable with operational ownership and infrastructure-as-code, he has driven production-ready services like SSH certificate tooling, DB load balancers, and Lambda-based ETL frameworks while advising on security and IPO readiness. A pragmatic problem-solver who favors the scientific method over rote reading, he combines deep systems instincts with a history of high-impact optimizations (e.g., large-scale ETL and columnar migrations) and hands-on open-source contributions.
