Siddharth Agarwal — CTO

I’m a Senior Engineer with 10 years of experience building, scaling, and stabilizing complex backend systems—and leading teams to do the same. My career sits at the intersection of strong technical execution and engineering leadership. I’ve owned Tier-1 services, driven reliability initiatives after Sev1 incidents, and strengthened engineering fundamentals across design, testing, automation, observability, and operational maturity. On the technical side, I focus on: Building and improving large-scale distributed systems Designing systems that are resilient, observable, and low-maintenance Introducing guardrails, workflow correctness, advanced test strategies, and controlled rollouts Turning ambiguous, high-stakes problems into clear architecture and executable plans On the leadership side, I’ve: Mentored and upskilled engineers across levels Led cross-functional delivery with PM, SRE, and design Improved engineering culture through better review standards, rollout practices, and postmortem rigor Helped teams ship safer and faster by improving processes, ownership models, and technical decision frameworks I enjoy roles where I can blend deep technical ownership with team leadership—whether that’s as a Staff Engineer driving system architecture or as an Engineering Manager shaping team velocity and reliability. If you’re building or scaling critical systems—and want both technical depth and engineering leadership—I’m always open to connect.
