Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEdward Earley is a senior production engineer and technology leader with over two decades of experience building planetary-scale platforms, distributed systems, and high-performance engineering organizations. He has led transformative platform work at Meta and AWS—shipping capacity governance for ad-serving, AI-native IaC and EKS platform components, and managed observability products at scale—regularly delivering tens of millions in infrastructure savings. Comfortable operating at both executive and hands-on levels, he repeatedly builds small, focused teams into mission-driven pods and scales orgs across continents while favoring lightweight processes and open source. His background spans JVM-centric architectures, Kubernetes, microservices, big data/AI, and SRE/DevOps, with a knack for introducing AI agents to automate infrastructure and engineering management. Notably, he pairs a humanities MA with deep technical roots, bringing a rare mix of strategic product thinking, people development, and pragmatic engineering craft. Based in Seattle, he thrives on redesigning control planes and developer experiences that turn manual toil into self-service, declarative platforms.
