Steven Paz is a Senior Backend Software Engineer and hands-on Tech Lead with a decade of experience building and modernizing resilient, high-availability backend systems in regulated environments. He has owned end-to-end APIs and asynchronous, fault-tolerant workflows for financial services and internet-scale platforms, frequently serving as the escalation engineer for Sev-1/Sev-2 incidents and driving postmortems and remediation. Comfortable pushing back on product scope for reliability and operational risk, he pairs pragmatic architecture guardrails with heavy hands-on coding, mentoring, and design review. His recent work includes modernizing legacy trading systems on .NET 8, designing queue-based trade processing with secure Azure integrations, and creating Go-based tooling and Terraform providers to dramatically speed API onboarding. Based in Los Angeles, he blends production accountability with a preference for measurable, auditable engineering over hype.
