Zeke Snider is a senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient backend platforms for risk and trust systems at Square and Airbnb. He led development of Square’s Risk integration platform and Backstop evaluation system, enabling 30+ integrations and a 99.99% SLA for critical payment and settlement flows while handling 1,500+ QPS. Comfortable across distributed messaging (Kafka, Pub/Sub), gRPC/GraphQL APIs, and client SDKs, he focuses on developer-facing tooling that shrinks onboarding time and operational blast radius. Earlier work includes cloud diagnostic services for medical devices and secure field communication using PKI, reflecting a mix of regulated-industry rigor and high-throughput engineering. Based in San Francisco, he pairs technical leadership with process improvements and has experience collaborating closely with ML and data science teams to surface features that improve model precision. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he’s combined production-scale risk systems with hands-on SDK and API design to make complex ML-backed evaluations easy for downstream product teams.
