Camilo Zambrano
@camilozambrano
Software Engineer who builds scalable, experiment-driven Shopify and AWS systems while mentoring teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a software engineer who leads design and implementation of features across multiple services, partnering with Product Management and Data Science to define requirements, run experiments, and maintain SLA commitments. At Shopify, I’ve implemented internal APIs for tailored customer notifications, built bandit experiment capabilities for home cards, and delivered Shopify AI-triggering functionality and merchant education features—plus I led teams to increase UX and conversion.
Earlier, I led technical projects at Forage and Block (Cash App), including scaling onboarding, transitioning architectures, rescuing delayed delivery, mentoring engineers, and driving measurable improvements like click-through rate and higher processing efficiency. I’ve also delivered large-scale infrastructure and reliability work at Amazon—spanning migrations from Windows to Linux, SQL to AWS DynamoDB, automation for end-to-end testing, and systems designed for high throughput and zero downtime.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Led the design and implementation of new Shopify service features, including cross-service foundational changes while maintaining SLA commitments. Implemented internal admin tooling for home cards, enabled bandit experiments for engagement, and delivered features integrating home cards with Shopify AI and merchant education on AI capabilities.
Led high-impact technical projects to improve scalability, operational efficiency, and enterprise client onboarding. Designed a hierarchical architecture to enable an expected 10x increase in processed volume by end of 2024, delivered a delayed customer-facing feature on time, and introduced automated end-to-end testing and configuration review for system reliability.
Led projects for Check Deposits and Paper Money Deposits, mentoring junior engineers through code reviews and pair programming. Achieved a 10% click-through rate for new routing and account info displays, co-led a frontend/backend architecture redesign supporting ~5M customers, and helped deliver a general availability release projected to reach ~500M with a tenfold increase in transaction per sec
Managed the APub platform for author work and financial management, and contributed to KTLO mode maintenance and strategy. Boosted deployment success rate from 30% to 90% and achieved ~50% cost reduction by migrating from Windows Server to Linux infrastructure, while enabling AWS VPC/SSO and removing VPN/extra credentials.
Developed and maintained AWS Dev Tools to improve software quality by expanding testing methods across development pipelines. Improved testing efficiency by enabling concurrent test runs and designing robust metric collection systems while supporting customized test execution beyond initial Lambda/Java support.
Led the Shipment Receipt system transition from SQL to AWS DynamoDB to track inbound items for global warehouses. Scaled processing to handle hundreds of millions of transactions monthly, improving reliability/performance and enabling integration with Amazon systems for future growth.
