Utkarsh Singhal — Software Engineer

At PayPal, my work sits at the crossroads of infrastructure and automation — I don't build the edge, I make the edge programmable. As a Staff Engineer, I focus on building the tools, platforms, and intelligent agents that empower engineering teams to operate and configure PayPal's edge infrastructure — across Fastly, Cloudflare, NS1, and Datadome — with speed, consistency, and confidence. Some of the platforms and automation I've led at PayPal: — Designed and led the build of a Unified Edge Configuration Management Platform — a single control plane that abstracts away the complexity of managing configurations across both Fastly and Cloudflare, enabling teams to ship edge changes reliably at scale — Built MCP-powered agents that autonomously push and manage configurations across edge and security providers — bringing agentic AI into day-to-day infrastructure operations and significantly reducing manual toil — Contributed to the reliability story behind PayPal's edge layer, building tooling that supports 99.99% availability at a platform that processes payments for hundreds of millions of users My focus is always on the developer and operator experience — how do we make complex, distributed edge systems easy to configure, easy to audit, and hard to break? That's the problem I wake up thinking about. I lead a team of engineers, drive the technical roadmap for edge automation tooling, and work closely with infrastructure, security, and platform teams to ensure the tools we build actually solve real operational pain. Before PayPal, I've built and scaled systems at high-growth startups including Rippling, Zomato, and Livspace — giving me a sharp instinct for building tools that engineers actually want to use. 📬 Always open to connecting with engineers and leaders working on platform engineering, edge automation, developer tooling, or AI-powered infrastructure.
