About
👋 Austin Atchley is a software engineer based in NYC
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2020 with honors, earning degrees in computer science and the Plan II Honors program, which provided a strong liberal arts curriculum to my education. I wrote an undergraduate thesis analyzing the philosophical underpinnings of the development of self-driving car technology, exploring ethical challenges faced by both software developers and all users of technology.
I worked at Amazon as a software engineer for two summers during college, on a range of different projects – from game engine development to authentication web services used as core internal Amazon infrastructure. After college, I continued to work at AWS in the Seattle headquarters for 3 years. During this time, I focused on building critical internal infrastructure services.
I left Amazon in August 2023 to travel around the world and move to New York City. In NYC, I worked remotely for a pharmacy tech startup called NimbleRx.
Recently, I joined Meta to work on their cross-product advertising platform, acting as a systems generalist. On my team, I work alongside ML research scientists, ML engineers, and other software engineers to support the Reservation Campaign feature of Meta’s ad platform.
