Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Sosik is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years plus of experience designing and operating backend platform systems, currently focused on security tooling at Akamai where he builds a customized Hashicorp Vault-as-a-Service and CI/CD automation. He blends systems-level engineering in Golang and Python with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and observability integrations to support high-RPS public APIs and production deployments. A longtime practitioner of SRE and platform reliability, he has led small teams, acted as scrum master, and produced runbooks and tooling used by SREs and testnets. He’s an advocate and user of NixOS, Rust, and reproducible build toolchains, and maintains side projects like a Zettelkasten-inspired notes system using Xapian and toy Rust implementations. Comfortable across distributed systems, metadata platforms, and security infrastructure, he brings deep operational empathy from years of cross-functional integrations at scale. Based in North Granby, CT, he pairs pragmatic production experience with a genuine commitment to open source and reproducible developer environments.
