Summary
Soumya Rout is a Senior Director of Engineering with nine years of experience designing and shipping high-performance, cloud-native systems that power mission-critical AI and observability platforms. He founded the architectural vision at Manifest, taking a novel causal observability product from prototype to paying customers while engineering a pipeline that processes 10M+ tasks daily with sub-100ms P95 latencies. His pragmatic infrastructure choices—Protocol Buffers, gRPC, multi-cloud HA design, and a Neo4j-backed topology engine—delivered dramatic cost and latency wins and hardened the platform from day one. Prior roles at Oracle, Walmart, Rubrik and Renoworks show deep experience across developer tooling, IAM at massive scale, and live rearchitecture of monoliths into resilient microservices. Based in Calgary, he combines hands-on systems design with startup-stage decisiveness, and consistently turns high-risk technical bets into irreversible advantages.
