Aniket Das is a Senior Software Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with over a decade of backend and platform experience focused on APIs, scalability, and operational resilience. He has led design and rollout of critical systems at Sentry—like global rate limiting, API request logging, an API deprecation policy, and a multi-region API gateway—serving developer-facing, production-critical infrastructure. His work spans hands-on implementation, technical steering, and delegation, and he has driven API usability improvements while contributing back-end fixes to the widely used open-source Sentry project. Prior roles include improving performance and security of ForAllSecure’s Mayhem for Code API and building storage and orchestration subsystems at Maxta, evidencing comfort from low-level systems to platform services. Known for pragmatic, test-first engineering, he also brings an operations-minded approach to configurable systems (e.g., moving cron specs to option managers) that reduces operational friction.
