About Sanjay Iyer

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing highly scalable, low-latency backend systems - currently leading high-throughput event pipelines and exchange infrastructure at Amazon Ads.My recent work includes: • Architecting Amazon’s real-time bidding exchange system, handling millions of requests per second with strict latency targets • Deploying resilient infrastructure across regions with service mesh, gRPC, and observability via OpenTelemetry • Previously, I built Alexa Audio’s Text Search platform for Smart Vehicles (Quattro), including LLM-driven personalization and multimodal search.Across roles at Amazon Ads, Alexa, and Tax Tech, I’ve consistently owned critical systems end-to-end -from design to production rollout - focusing on distributed systems, real-time processing, and platform resiliency.I thrive in environments where engineers are trusted with impact, expected to move fast, and empowered to solve hard infrastructure problems with clarity and autonomy.
