commit gohighlevel--lead-engineer
Author: Shubh Saxena <ssshubh97@gmail.com>
Date: Apr 2026 — Present · Remote (India) · Contacts Platform Team
Lead Engineer — GoHighLevel
  • Driving system design and architecture improvements for the Contacts Platform, supporting high-throughput services relied on across GoHighLevel's multi-tenant SaaS customer base.
  • Partnering cross-functionally with product and platform teams to modernize core contact data services for reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
  • Bringing distributed-systems and high-scale architecture expertise from prior roles to guide technical direction, design reviews, and engineering standards on the team.
  • Mentoring engineers on the team, raising the bar on system-design rigor and production-readiness practices.
commit brevo--senior-to-lead-engineer
Author: Shubh Saxena <ssshubh97@gmail.com>
Date: Jun 2023 — Mar 2026 · Noida, India
Senior Software Engineer → Lead Engineer — Brevo
  • Architected and executed the core migration of mission-critical, high-availability contact management microservices from Node.js to Go, scaling performance to sustain 1,000+ RPS / 40k+ ops/min and supporting over 100M+ contacts.
  • Drove a 50% systemic reduction in text-based query latencies by redesigning data segmentation pipelines across heterogeneous datastores (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis), directly improving enterprise-level customer retention.
  • Established engineering excellence standards and SLAs for cross-functional product teams; introduced rigorous system-design review processes that slashed post-release production anomalies by over 30%.
  • Led and mentored a high-performing squad of engineers, defining technical direction, establishing robust CI/CD and monitoring guardrails, and accelerating sprint velocity by removing technical debt bottlenecks.
  • Promoted to Lead Engineer in Jan 2026, recognizing technical leadership and system-design impact.
commit dlt-labs--software-to-lead-engineer
Author: Shubh Saxena <ssshubh97@gmail.com>
Date: Aug 2019 — Jun 2023 · Noida, India
Software Engineer → Senior Software Engineer → Lead Engineer — DLT Labs
  • Served as Core Architect for an enterprise blockchain-based supply chain and financial settlement platform, scaling transaction processing from 2k ops/min to 40k ops/min through advanced Node.js runtime and garbage collection tuning.
  • Designed a high-performance data replication engine that synthesized multi-source distributed data streams in real-time, drastically reducing cross-system sync lag and unlocking advanced dynamic CRM segmentation.
  • Spearheaded production engineering strategy for mission-critical distributed systems, building automated self-healing workflows and debugging frameworks that preserved 99.99% availability SLAs.
  • Recognized across 3 elite corporate categories ('Top Achiever', 'Best Improvement', 'Most Efficient Developer') for pioneering technical initiatives that slashed operational infrastructure overhead.
