Summary
Steven Stef is a Site Reliability Engineer with 10 years of experience building resilient, automated infrastructure and tooling for high-traffic e-commerce and SaaS platforms. He blends a logic-driven, modular approach with hands-on DevOps and full-stack experience—having improved J.Crew’s CI/CD, cross-browser testing, and asset management pipelines to deliver measurable cost savings and deployment visibility. Comfortable both leading and collaborating, he pairs patient, effective communication with a track record of mentoring peers and supervising cross-functional teams. His background spans building QA automation with Selenium/Jest and React-based internal tools, plus infrastructure work at Engageware focused on reliability at scale. A practical problem-solver who prefers creative simplicity, he also brings non-obvious strengths from roles in operations, analytics, and sales that help him translate business needs into technical solutions. Based in New York, he keeps a witty engineering spirit (see his playful GitHub bio) while consistently driving measurable operational improvements.
