Senior🎓
Top SchoolSaurabh Sood is a Senior Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building scalable document and AI-driven features, currently contributing at Vanta after a multi-year tenure at Course Hero. He led architecture shifts—migrating HTML pipelines to Node.js worker threads to cut processing time and outages in half—and built microservices and HTML viewers that drove $605k in annual revenue and boosted user engagement. His work spans Golang, GraphQL, Python/FastAPI, and front-end viewers, plus hands-on AI integrations like GPT-Vision features with thousands of weekly users. A master’s graduate from University of Colorado Boulder, he combines systems-level performance improvements with product-focused delivery and a history of mentoring and cross-team standardization. An early contributor to open-source tooling (including a Qt/libzypp installer project during Google Summer of Code), he brings practical engineering depth and a knack for turning complex document workflows into reliable, user-facing experiences.
