Shashank Rawlani — Director of Engineering
"The best engineering isn't just about building platforms—it's about architecting scalable solutions, empowering teams to innovate, and delivering measurable business impact." With over 15+ years of engineering leadership experience across Media, AdTech & Telecom, I've built and scaled cloud-native platforms that power billions of ad impressions and millions of streaming sessions daily. From my 6-year tenure at PubMatic architecting AdServer and SSP platforms to current leadership at Amagi in streaming TV, I've consistently delivered innovation through scalable architecture, intelligent automation, and high-performing teams. Today at Amagi, I lead cross-functional engineering teams across Streaming TV and Ad platforms, architecting cloud-native solutions that deliver broadcast-quality content to millions of viewers globally. I've driven 90%+ coverage through automation, reduced operational costs by $200K+ annually through intelligent engineering, and built teams of 20+ engineers that consistently exceed delivery goals. Throughout my career, I've driven impact through: • Cloud-Native Platform Engineering: Architected scalable solutions on AWS/Kubernetes handling millions of concurrent users and billions of ad requests with 99.9%+ uptime • Automation & DevOps Excellence: Built frameworks and CI/CD pipelines reducing delivery cycles by 97% (60hrs→<2hrs) while improving quality and reliability • AI-Driven Innovation: Pioneered RAG + AI Agent platforms for intelligent automation and operational efficiency, staying ahead of industry trends • Team Building & Leadership: Scaled engineering teams of 20+, fostering technical ownership culture and delivering $2.7M+ in measurable business value My Approach? Architect → Automate → Amplify - Architect: Design platforms that are scalable, resilient, and cost-effective from day one - Automate: Build intelligent automation that accelerates delivery while maintaining engineering excellence - Amplify: Develop engineering teams that become force multipliers through technical mastery and ownership culture Beyond code and infrastructure, I'm passionate about AI integration in engineering workflows, technical leadership, and building teams that ship exceptional products. I believe the best engineering managers build not just great platforms, but great engineers.
