Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Knight is a founding engineer building an AI Coworker for consumer brands at Hazel, bringing a decade of backend and cloud-native engineering experience from Capital One. He’s experienced in low-latency feature serving, orchestration, and payments systems, with hands-on work in Go, Python, Java, Kubernetes, AWS, Helm, Argo, DynamoDB and RDS. An Emory-trained applied mathematician and computer scientist, he combines rigorous quantitative thinking with pragmatic API and orchestration design. Based in New York, he moves comfortably between building production-grade services and experimental AI tooling, and enjoys puzzles—so he treats system design like a game. The sailor-who-codes sensibility on his GitHub hints at a concise, loop-first approach to engineering problems.
