Yossi Levanoni is a veteran engineering leader with over two decades of experience building and scaling core database, distributed systems, and developer platforms across Aerospike, Chainlink Labs, AWS, Microsoft, and IBM Research. He currently leads Core Database Systems as VP of Engineering at Aerospike after driving blockchain platform and large-scale database innovations at Chainlink and AWS (DynamoDB, QLDB, Aurora). Known for translating deep research into production-grade systems, Yossi holds 40+ patents and invented influential garbage-collection algorithms during his research tenure. He combines hands-on technical breadth—from low-level storage and query engines to provisioning and fleet optimization—with a servant-leader style that prioritizes team autonomy and creative problem solving. Based in Redmond, he has repeatedly shipped incubation projects into products (e.g., C++ AMP and STM.Net work at Microsoft) and thrives on mentoring engineers to tackle hard systems problems. An unusual throughline in his career is a persistent focus on making complex, parallel systems both performant and operable at massive scale.
