Maxim Murygin

Lead engineer in Platform Foundation track which owns compute resources across the company. Led the adoption of OpenStack based Virtualization platform (10000+ VMs), contributed to distributed job scheduling platform (hosts 6000+ of jobs).

• Led the migration of key booking services from bare-metal to virtual machines by understanding stakeholders needs, delivering requirements to the team and contributing to the solution both by design and coding.
• Led the development and deployment of the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform on top of Kubernetes. This work included comprehensive integration with deployment tooling, networking and data layers.
• Championed genAI adoption, created a list of troubleshooting and operation skills, created and performed agentic engineering workshops for 50+ engineers.
• Executed a high-impact, cross-functional initiative (across 5 teams) to optimize platform configurations, resulting in a quantifiable 10% increase in performance for critical workload.
• Championed a shift to SLO-based alerting and mercilessly eliminated false positives, resulting in a quantifiable reduction in out-of-hours alerts volume.
• Played a major role in architecture decisions, including leading the design for the 'Multi regional' resilience model to ensure all services could withstand cloud failures, effectively simplifying cloud onboarding and improving deployment reliability for all engineering teams.
• Acted as a principal technical consultant for Engineering/Product Leadership, quickly diagnosing and delivering complex, time-sensitive solutions that prevented critical path blockers for major product initiatives.

SRE in Core Infrastructure. Building from scratch and maintaining an integration layer between OpenStack-based Private Cloud and internal services.

• Designed and took a major role in implementation of an internal platform which consists of 8000+ VMs and provides a working environment for 2000+ developers.
• Guided the adoption of IaC with Terraform — developed internal modules, established testing and delivery standards, and mentored engineers on Terraform best practices.
• In collaboration with Risk and Compliance built a comprehensive list of controls to certify the platform as SoX compliant. Ensured platform compliance by successfully leading audit sessions with auditors.

Team Lead managing a cross-functional team while handling SRE responsibilities. Led team of 9 engineers, managed stakeholder relationships, and drove technical decisions. Maintained and enhanced web services for data processing and generating training sets for Machine Learning tasks with petabytes of data scale.

• Designed a distributed backend architecture that sustained 100x growth over five years.
• Led successful migration from monolith to microservices architecture.
• Moved operations from manual to Infrastructure as Code with terraform.
• Grew team from 6 to 9 engineers.

As the Lead Developer of the outsourced team, I was responsible for building backend architecture and optimizing critical requests.

• Implemented real-time monitoring of production performance.
• Gathered and optimized critical production requests which resulted in 3x latency improvement.
• Implemented load tests to prevent performance degradation.

Was responsible for the backend development of the enterprise project management system.

• Performed refactoring to make legacy system testable.
• Demonstrated the value of testing and proper test writing techniques to other developers, rapidly increasing test coverage to nearly 90%.

Developed a bacterial population monitoring system in a homogeneous medium by building asymptotic solutions of the Fisher-Kolmogorov equation followed by modeling in MatLab.
