Staff Software Engineer - Infrastructure at Skydio
Denver, Colorado, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolToni Rib is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in infrastructure and SRE with 11 years of experience building resilient, observable systems across AWS, Kubernetes, Postgres/MySQL, and Datadog. Transitioning from a Rails/React full‑stack background, Toni co-founded Gusto’s Performance and Testing Guilds to change organizational culture around performance and testing while still spending ~70% of their time on hands‑on infra work. They’ve led large migrations (EC2→EKS, Aptible→AWS), complex database reshuffles and upgrades, and created training and tooling—everything from Playwright test frameworks to Slack bots for incident response. Known for an unusual depth in database performance and schema strategy for a non‑DBA, Toni pairs technical execution with process improvements like post‑mortem reform and staging environment design. Based in Denver, they balance a practical, teachable approach with a willingness to fail publicly and iterate, and bring eclectic outside interests—from taiko drumming to competitive fantasy football—that make them a collaborative, approachable engineering leader.
