Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAustin Pilz is a Tech Lead II with 11 years of experience building and modernizing mission-critical systems, currently leading reliability and architecture work at HubSpot after a multi-year tenure as a Principal Software Engineer at Liberty Mutual. He specializes in migrating legacy mainframe and WebSphere applications to cloud-native microservices using Java (6–11+), Spring/Netflix stacks, and extensive AWS services, driving dramatic performance gains (up to 168x) and large-scale migrations with zero-customer downtime. Austin combines deep systems architecture and database experience (DB2, Aurora, RDS) with hands-on engineering—designing high-throughput APIs (65,000 REST calls/sec) and automating processes that cut costs and operational risk. A pragmatic leader and mentor, he’s been nominated for HubSpot’s BRAVE Award for improving product reliability and has a track record of resolving decade-old defects that saved substantial business value. Outside work he channels his technical creativity into theatrical lighting networks and open-source gaming projects, and he’s quietly pursuing a bucket-list synchronized holiday light display that blends hardware, networking, and show design.
