Aryan Gupta — Software Engineer

I’m a Software Engineer at IBM building large-scale distributed data and compute platforms. My work sits at the intersection of backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and security, where reliability and scale are first-class requirements. I currently own critical components of the Spark engine lifecycle in IBM Cloud Pak for Data. I led the migration of engine API ownership from a legacy console layer to a service-native architecture, removed tight coupling across subsystems, and enabled backward-compatible provisioning and job execution for existing tenants. I also delivered database migration tooling to seamlessly onboard live environments. A major part of my focus is secure cloud access at scale. I implemented OIDC-based STS role assumption, eliminating static credentials while enabling fine-grained IAM authorization for S3, MRAP, and Iceberg workloads. I’ve also designed token-authenticated callback mechanisms for real-time application state reporting, improving observability and integration capabilities for downstream services. Beyond features, I regularly drive platform hardening — closing PenTest findings, remediating log4j exposure paths, blocking unsafe URL schemes, and preventing credential leakage across distributed runtimes. Earlier, at Amazon, I worked on production performance and security, resolving ingress latency, executing load validations, and strengthening protections against XSS. At Deloitte, I helped push test coverage beyond 90% while improving database job efficiency by ~40%.
