Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJamie Schlessinger is a seasoned software engineer with 10 years of experience, currently a Staff Software Engineer at Skylight and based in Camas, Washington. He specializes in building high-throughput distributed systems and federated GraphQL platforms — at New Relic he maintained an Elixir-based API serving up to 800,000 requests per minute with a 25ms average response time and led automation that grew downstream services from 35 to 175. A pragmatic advocate for automated testing, CI, and carefully factored code, Jamie frequently takes technical leadership, authors design documents, and mentors early-career engineers. His polyglot background (Elixir, Rails, Python), experience with ETS/Redis and pubsub, and a BA in Music — plus years performing as a cellist/guitarist — give him a distinctive blend of technical rigor and attention to rhythm and collaboration in system design.
