Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Soltesz is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building resilient, production-grade distributed systems and operational foundations, currently leading Measurement Lab efforts at Google. He combines deep systems and SRE expertise—designing load balancing, admission control, and access-proxy architectures that handle millions of authenticated requests daily—with a disciplined, research-informed approach to developer workflows and data pipeline hygiene. Stephen has a strong history of migrating services to cloud-native tooling (Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana) and codifying release, alerting, and incident practices that dramatically reduced operational load. His work bridges research and production: from kernel patches and virtualization experiments to formalizing BigQuery schemas and naming standards that improve long-term analytical health. Based in the NYC area, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a focus on collaborative processes and reproducible measurement for internet-scale systems.
