Senior🎓
Top SchoolZach Herridge is a Software Engineer II with nine years’ experience building high-performance distributed systems and security automation, currently developing an enterprise-wide compliance testing platform at Amazon that evaluates billions of resources weekly. He has a track record of architecting high-throughput backends—from a DOOH platform handling 10k+ TPS and 200M+ ad views at Adomni to company-wide DevOps transformations at Cerner serving 200+ hospitals. Zach specializes in automating security and compliance (including pioneering AI/LLM-based compliance tests) and consistently delivers measurable business impact, saving hundreds of FTE hours per quarter and cutting search latencies from seconds to sub-second. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and team lead, he blends deep systems engineering with practical operational improvements and a knack for turning monoliths into observable, scalable services. Based in Seattle, he pairs a technical Computer Science foundation with a curiosity for unconventional solutions—he also enjoys exploring conversational AI tools like POE outside of work.
