Soumya Ranjan Rout — Director of Engineering
I design and lead delivery of production-grade, multi-tenant, multi-region infrastructure and backend platforms: multi-cloud Kubernetes, secure API & data planes (API Gateway / WAF / mTLS mesh), high-throughput streaming pipelines (Pulsar / Kafka), and low-latency Golang/Python services backed by Redis Cluster, Postgres, Neo4j, and time-series/observability stacks. I’ve owned Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, and backend development for systems handling millions of events per minute and 100+ microservices across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-prem. Focus areas: Developer Productivity (CI/CD, testing, environments & tooling, code standards), Reliability Engineering (SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, MTTR), Observability Platforms (metrics, logs, tracing, topology graph), Data & Storage Services (streaming, blob, graph, time-series), and Online Services (traffic management, capacity planning, load testing). I’ve built and operated: • Event streaming & ingestion: Apache Pulsar / Kafka, partitioning, tenant isolation, retention strategy, backpressure, consumer scaling. • Async orchestration & queues: Redis / Asynq / Temporal patterns for idempotency, retries, and workload shaping under failure. • Storage & observability: Neo4j graph models for dependency and RCA, Postgres/Redis sharding for scale, TSDB / VictoriaMetrics / VictoriaLogs for high-cardinality telemetry, practical incident forensics. • AI / MLOps runtime: containerized inference services with SLOs, autoscaling, and cost/latency budgets enforced at the edge. • Delivery: Golang & Python backend services, gRPC/REST APIs, production Helm + GitOps + Terraform automation, zero-downtime rollout (canary / blue-green), SRE playbooks for resilience. I helped take an event-driven, graph-backed, observability-heavy platform from zero to seed and Series A as system architect and infrastructure leader, owning both the platform and the reliability story behind it. What I care about: clear invariants, measurable trade-offs (cost vs latency vs safety), isolation between noisy tenants, and automating the boring parts so teams ship faster without burning error budget. Open to: Director of Platform / Infrastructure Architecture / Head of SRE / Cloud Engineering & DevOps leadership / MLOps Infra partnerships.
