Harsh Gupta

Software Development Engineer II

Bellevue, WA

• Spearheaded cross-team delivery of 8 services for a new sovereign cloud region as technical lead — defined the end-to-end architecture, orchestrated a team of 6 engineers, and drove alignment across 5+ platform teams to deliver all services on schedule for the region's public launch.
• Architected a custom authorization layer to close a critical security gap where users could bypass access controls via an alternate API path — evaluated 3 architectural approaches, performed blast-radius analysis across 1,800+ affected accounts, and deployed incrementally to production with zero customer impact.
• Pioneered agentic AI workflows with MCP server integrations for CI/CD automation — enabling touchless deployment, auto-remediation, and reducing manual operational overhead across the team's 8+ service portfolio.

Software Development Engineer

Seattle, WA

• Designed and drove the migration from a monolithic architecture to distributed microservices — implemented a CDN-based traffic routing layer as the new service entry point, achieving production-readiness for zero-downtime cutover with improved multi-region availability.
• Built a version-agnostic GraphQL API client adopted by 4+ downstream services — featuring token-based auth, automatic retry with exponential backoff, and error-translation middleware that reduced integration failures and developer toil across merchant-facing systems.
• Owned and operated scalable event-driven microservices on ECS Fargate and Lambda — handling high-throughput event processing with end-to-end observability, automated deployments, and fully codified infrastructure (IaC).

Software Engineer — Data Platforms

• Built and optimized production data pipelines powering analytics and ML workflows — leveraging BigQuery, Airflow, and Spark. Contributed to an open-source protobuf-to-JSON-schema compiler plugin adopted externally.
