Dear Hiring Team,

I'm writing about the Backend Engineer (New Grad) role. I finish my M.S. in Computer Science at Boston University in May 2026, and the work I keep coming back to is the systems side — caches, queues, and the tests that keep them honest.

At Wayfair I added a Redis read-through cache in front of the checkout API, which now serves 2M requests a day and cut latency 38%. The load tests I wrote around it caught a connection-pool leak before a Black Friday deploy — the kind of bug that is cheap to fix on a Tuesday and expensive in November.

Queues are the other half of your posting. At Klaviyo I moved 120+ legacy cron jobs onto a queue-backed scheduler and failed runs dropped 62%. In BU's Spark! lab I built a Raft-based key-value store in Go and benchmarked it at 40k ops/sec on commodity hardware. Python and Go are where I work fastest; TypeScript and SQL are where the rest of the job usually lives.

I'd be glad to walk through the caching work, or through Ferry — the Raft visualizer I open-sourced, now used to teach BU's distributed systems course. Thank you for reading.

Sincerely,
Jordan Avery
