Summary
Zilvinas Vilutis is a Staff Software Engineer based in San Diego with nearly two decades of experience building high-throughput, cloud-native systems for companies like Okta, Intuit, Grid Dynamics, Sony and EIS. He specializes in replatforming monoliths into microservices, designing scalable authorization and eventing infrastructures, and optimizing performance at massive scale using technologies such as Go, Java, Spring Boot, Kafka/Pulsar, DynamoDB and Kubernetes. Known for hands-on technical leadership, he combines architecture, mentoring and rapid POC development to derisk platform integrations and drive measurable latency and throughput improvements. He has led large data migrations and search/indexing optimizations that materially increased TPS and stability for major retail platforms, and at Okta built OpenFGA-based solutions that reduced query latency through precomputed caching. Comfortable across backend, infra and SRE collaboration, he brings a pragmatic, data-driven approach to solving complex distributed systems problems.
