About Rakshit Verma

I’m a systems-oriented software engineer with experience building large-scale, high-performance platforms in search infrastructure and MLOps. My work has spanned from developing low-latency, high-throughput search engines in Rust to designing observability systems that support ML models across production at LinkedIn.At LinkedIn, I’ve contributed to the migration of core IR systems to a Rust-based engine (handling 1.2M QPS), built a RocksDB-backed real-time ingestion platform, and developed protocol buffer tooling for seamless service integration. I’ve also worked with the Health Assurance team on AI Studio, building monitoring APIs and systems used to track hundreds of ML models.Previously at Flipkart, I worked on user intent recognition, model retraining pipelines, and scaling critical search infrastructure to handle 6x peak traffic during major sale events.I enjoy working at the intersection of infra, ML systems, and performance engineering, and I’m passionate about building reliable platforms that scale.Let’s connect if you’re interested in distributed systems, ML infra, or building for scale.
