Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZach Himsel is a senior infrastructure engineer with 12 years’ experience building and operating large-scale cloud platforms and developer-facing tooling. He has led SRE and cloud platform work across Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and observability stacks, most recently at Addepar after a multi-year tenure modernizing Greenhouse’s platform. Zach combines hands-on systems administration roots with software craftsmanship—authoring Go CLIs, refactoring Python automation, and creating self-service modules that empower internal teams. Notable projects include a custom Solr operator toolset, an organization-wide documentation overhaul, and an IAM migration to SSO driven by maintainable Terraform. He favors practical automation that reduces toil and improves reliability, and often pairs infrastructure changes with clear tutorials and contributor guides so teams can adopt them quickly. Based in North Carolina, he’s as comfortable troubleshooting networking and databases as he is shipping platform features in code.
